Ultimately, my #1 choice is UIC but I haven't heard back yet, so I'll be debating between these 2.
The biggest thing is tuition&fees ($/yr):
CSU: 21,000
Midwestern: 35,000 (really around 45,000 since I will have to rent/dorm)
I live in Chicago so I will live at home and commute (15-30min drive) to CSU; if I go to Midwestern, I will have to dorm/rent there, essentially adding around 10,000/yr to cost.
added: Cost is important to me because I will have to get loans for everything. I will not be getting any financial support from family/relatives/friends.
-------------
Midwestern has a better reputation since it's been in existence longer
CSU has not obtained full accreditation status yet (it currently has p1 and p2 students).
-------------
I am not sure what to do. Any advice? I do have a preference but I'll like to hear other peoples' opinions first.
Many thanks!
