I graduated from UMCP and so did most of my friends. UMCP is a good college but not so economic. Plus, living expense around College Park is not cheap or just plane dangerous. Since it is a state university, they don't have good scholarships or grants. If you are doing graduate school, you might be able to find some stipends through research or TA program. If money is a big factor, i would suggest to look for some other university.
If you can, check also at UMUC. UMUC is a sister university and share same campus. I think it is slightly cheaper than UMCP and not so hard to get in. Good luck.
