I applied for this college because it was the cheapest. I transferred to UMD from Michigan Tech my sophomore year because I couldn't afford Michigan Tech anymore. I only applied to 2 schools during my senior year of high school. The application fees for Michigan Tech were free but at UMD it was $50.

I lived off Campus at my parent's house. They provided a nice system where we were allowed bus passes to school at a Cheaper price which is very nice. I wish I could have lived on campus just so I could have enjoyed more of the college atmosphere but it was too expensive

The programs they offered were exactly what I was looking for. Most colleges did not offer any animal science-based programs, hence my decision. Plus I could live closer to home so that was another reason.

It had the program I wanted. I liked the location of the school and the class sizes were smaller. The school offered different groups and teams that Iike and wanted to be apart of. I had friends who went to school as well.

I lived in a dorm my first year of college and have lived in a house on campus ever since. It is quite convenient since it is so close to campus and I am able to walk to all of my classes without relying on a car.

The best school I got into so I opted for this college. I also liked that they had a good pre-health program which would allow me to look into going to graduate school here. I also liked that they were a research institution.
