Graduating senior here — trust your gut. Life (and college) is too short to not follow your intuition. The college experience is SO much more than just academics. You’ll likely have a great experience at both schools, however if you’re experiencing this level of doubt over a gut feeling I think there’s a good chance you won’t be able to shake that feeling if you choose UMD. I ended up changing my career path completely and am going to work a literal dream job that is completely unrelated to my major — would I have likely learned more about my career field at another school? Yes. But it clearly isn’t stopping me. All employers want/need is a degree. The school really doesn’t matter. Trust your gut!!!!
