Dear combat_boots,

“In that case, you all need to investigate the crime and party stats, as well as the prevalence of club culture, if you haven’t already.”

I don't think so.

By “social,” I mean that he's outgoing, gets along well with others, is often well-liked, is often selected as the group leader, has an easy manner. By “social,” I don't mean that he is a deviant.

Maryland has very large libraries with lots of books and periodicals. In the millions. We know. My son has done research there on more than one occasion.

As well, Maryland's faculty are well above average in the quantity of per-member peer-reviewed research, and the school actually has its own peer-reviewed journal.

“I don’t mean that he is a deviant.”

By no means did I intend that. If he has been homeschooled, you have a watchful eye that won’t be there if he lives on campus. That’s all.

The campus culture is important.

Just curious, how did he get access while in high school? Lots of Universities don't allow access to people unless they are already affiliated with the program, or higher-ed faculty.

Also, you mentioned that the Hopkins prof had suggested starting your son with 5000-level courses (mixed grad/undergrad level) in Classics.

Purely nosy on my part -- I take it between the homeschool and Catholic high school he has mastered Latin and/or Greek?

Cheers!
