University of Maryland - College Park is a large college located between DC and Baltimore. It is a little closer to DC and is accessible by Metro. The campus is enormous and has a very large Greek Life. The academics are good for a state school, and the tuition isn't too high. This is a great place for Maryland residents to look to attend college if they don't want to leave the state.
PROS: good academics, gorgeous campus, not too expensive
CONS: nothing really
