I’m not familiar with UMD but my D is finishing up her senior year at Susky. It’s not where she originally chose to go (forced transfer after freshman year due to loss of FA) but she’s been incredibly happy there and has just blossomed in so many ways. She’s had wonderful professors who truly know and care about their students. She’s also gotten lots of research experience and TA work that she would not have gotten at her previous school. The students are down to earth and well rounded. Dh and I refied this year and had to pay off our HELOC prior (which is where we pull some funds for college) and opening a new HELOC took months longer than anticipated. Bursar made a call to a higher up and told us basically pay when you can. We think it’s a pretty special place.
