Hi all!
I am having a very difficult time choosing between Iowa and Kansas. All of the larger factors in deciding where to go are the same for me as I have gotten in-state tuition for both schools (received PSEP for both, ND resident), though Iowa is technically a little cheaper (~$2,000). Driving distance from home is relatively the same (9 hours Kansas, 7 hours Iowa). I am interested in mixed, so I don't care about tracking at Iowa vs. not tracking at Kansas. Both towns feel the same to me (college town) and have the same cost of living. Kansas has nice new facilities, but so does some of Iowa and to be honest I don't really care how new things are (I liked Iowa's facilities during my tours there anyways). The curriculum itself seems relatively the same if I'm tracking mixed at Iowa State. I think you may get the picture now, but at this point I'm considering very minor factors. How would you choose? Any advice from students in these schools? I got some critical feedback from a 3rd year at Kansas which really helped, so any feedback is appreciated! In my mind, they're pretty much the same school.
