I can vouch for UMBC. UMBC has a strong talent pool. Sadly, many CS grads end up working in cyber security in VA, MD or DC. Although, I do personally know a few who got jobs at Google and Zynga.
I do agree that startups in DC lack young people. I've tried to go to two hacker/startup meetups in DC. Both times, it sucked. These hackers/startups guys were too old for me. It just didn't click and I left.
