Holy Crap... if you are paying for your own school, go to the cheapest option possible. If your social life can handle it, go to CC.

Otherwise, go to the place where you'll fit in. College sucks if you don't have fun. If you don't have fun, you won't do well academically.

Wow this is a busy thread.

There a lot of ifs, buts, and ands on this thread. Save yourself the headache and get a cope of "The White Coat Investor." It's a finance book specifically written for the physician lifestyle and has portions relating to pre-med, med student, resident, and attending phases as well.

It's one of the most practical and easy to read books I've ever read and it really explains the options you have available to you. Financial independence at a relatively early age with no debt isn't a destination, it's a mindset.

Read the book and get better advice from the author than the many opinions you've garnered on here (which I'm not saying are bad, but don't clutter your mind)

I second this book. It's great!
