So after getting into a lot of “good” schools such as Chapel Hill and College Park, I decided to come to Salisbury because of my financial situation.  The city is not that safe.  Still safer than Baltimore City (my home).  Beach isn't *that* close.  Parties blow, cops are obsessed with getting students in trouble instead of fixing real crime problems in the city.  Salisbury is a depressed southern-style town, similar to Petersburg, VA or Dover, DE (if you know what those are like). 

Academics are great though.  Well for a few majors.  The geography, nursing, education and business departments, Salisbury is excellent academically.  The geography department is very challenging.  The professors really work to get you to a new level.  About 1/3 of undergraduates in geography go on to master's school, same with business.  Although there are other brilliant professors in political science, math, psychology, biology and computer science, the programs kinda suck.  Overall, the classes in the good programs are excellent, while classes in the less amazing programs are way too easy.  I never studied for a bio or history test and got an A in the class.

So if you are content being a happy person in a small town, go here.  If you are a liberal all-about-an-expensive-education type, well go to College Park.  Just a note; the acceptance rate and average incoming GPAs are exactly the same as College Park.  I'm doing some much higher learning than some of my friends at Frostburg, UMBC, UMES and especially Towson. 

Want a crummy education in a dangerous mediocre town?  Go to Towson.

Want a research-based education in a huge school?  Go to College Park.

Want a great education in a small city that's far enough away from home to not go back?  Salisbury.
