first, i have zilch planning experience.
and i wish i had realized how much this field interests me sooner... my undergraduate years would have been much more interesting, to say the least. anyway, i graduated from michigan in '02, majored in psych, and now work as a paralegal in a large law firm. needless to say, it didn't take long to figure out that law school isn't for me...
so i'm an armchair urban planner, (read: major geek) and am especially interested in issues of mass transit, and curbing auto-dependent development. the washington, d.c. area, where i live, is a hotbead for many of these issues, including horrible traffic problems, a clogged, money-swilling metro system, rampant sprawl from the mountains to the sea (literally), and chronic NIMBYism.
i wanna go for a MUP. does anyone have anything good/bad to say about u-maryland's mup program? (i'd get in state tuition, plus i consider the d.c. area home)
