Everyone on this thread is so well informed and I love the insight. Our daughter probably applied to too many schools (my fault - an over-correction after our son’s experience last year - which ended well with him at Emory - but not before a lot of grief)…Yesterday we had a great visit at UMass Amherst. She loved the barn and the head of the animal science program. I love that the LLC is right near the animal science program.

Seeing UMass’ Animal Science program in person allowed her to rule out UVM. She visited their CREAM program, but is much more equine focused and she loved the equine facilities at Amherst.

She is considering Maryland - and just received the Presidential Scholarship but they don’t seem to be offering in person visits at the Ag School.

Thoughts welcomed on UMass Amherst vs. UMD.
