<p>I believe UMD has a mandate that 70% of the kids are from MD. If you went to tOSU you would be out of there. Not that it is bad, and tOSU has a majority of Ohio residents, but I don’t believe at the same level. Md is such a value for in-state though and it is a great school. My S has the same choice for Engineering but with the Nat’l Buckeye and Trustee tOSU is a much better value. We are from NJ and he chose either of those rather than staying in NJ at Rutgers where he also got in.</p>
