Have your fun for a semester, then transfer to UMB...

Have your fun for a semester, then transfer to UMBC. School only cares about its money and extorting every dollar they can out of you. Too many "gotchas" and too little disregard for a quality education experience. And if you think your teachers care about you and want to help you succeed...LOL. I never caught one single break at UMD. I finished my engineering degree at UMBC and had a MUCH better academic and teacher experience. The thought of going there for a graduate degree makes my stomach turn (why I'm getting it elsewhere).
