- Ask UMBC or see if the website has a list of employers who attend job fairs. Sometimes you can find that through a web search. You can also apply directly if your school isn't a recruit target but I imagine it will be a bit easier if it is.
- Big state colleges have lots of different groups, there is not just one group. All big colleges have a lot of partying some people do sometimes and some do all the time.They will have studious people who were A students and they have students who barely got in. Your major means you will be in a group that studies harder to pass hard classes.
- Wait for your offer. But don't you have room/board/books and other expenses than just tuition? As a student all you can borrow on your own is: freshman 5,500 sophomore 6,500 jr 7,500 sr 7,500
Well, you can borrow a few thou more if your parents are turned down for a plus loan.
- That sounds interesting. CS has a lot of applications in many fields and it is a good thing to be exposed to other areas and interesting things while you are in colelge. Astrophysicists are the original 'big data' data scientists.
- wow, really?
- UMCP is a major research unit with a highly reputed PhD program and they are going to have a lot of depth and breadth.
- Transfer also doesn't get the financial offers freshmen get either.
I don’t know enough about UMBC to have an opinion, sorry.
