    Max out with your full time credits if you can handle it. Whether you take 12 or 18 credits, the tuition rate stays the same.

    UMD is rates as one of the best schools for getting the value of your money, but I've personally experienced some issues with paying for school here.

    Personally, I am paying out of state tuition which is extremely expensive and may cause me to have to transfer. Out of state tuition and total costs is about $40,000 a year. But if I lived in state, the tuition rate is amazing and with out a doubt a great bang for the buck.
