BWI will almost always be cheaper than DCA (Reagan) or IAD (Dulles). And it is served by budget carriers Southwest and Spirit.

But you can check that by using the airport code WAS which will give you flight listing for all three DC area airports.

Both DCA and IAD are served by the DC Metro. There's rail transportation from BWI also, but it's not the METRO.

BWI is closest to the University of Maryland campus. IAD is a long way away.

Just about everything in Baltimore (hotels, meals, etc.) is less expensive than in DC. Although there are some exceptions. The closer you are to the Inner Harbor, the safer. Even a few blocks north makes a big difference.

Downtown Bethesda would be an ideal spot. It's close to College Park, it has a slew of all sorts of restaurants and bars, it's walkable and reasonably safe, and you have easy Metro access to everything downtown. Metro from Bethesda to College Park is a bit of a hike. Friendship Heights, one Metro stop south of Bethesda, is OK but lacks the variety of eateries and watering holes that downtown Bethesda offers.

Caddie's on Cordell bar in Bethesda is a Terp stonghold, but a great, place for beer before or after. It's on the edge of being a dive bar. You will not be under-dressed in your game attire.
