School 1. UAB (OOS)
PROS: An amazing school with very early clinical. (Impressions week 3 I think they said).
My favorite city by far.
I probably want to specialize and they are one of the best.
I have friends who already live here.
2 hours from home.
Smaller class size.

CONS: Cost. This is my only con. My parents are paying my living expenses but are not helping with tuition.

School 2: UTHSC (Memphis, Tennessee)

PROS: Cost.

CONS: I got really bad vibes on all the interview and meet and greet days.

Is my happiness worth over 100K?

how many percent difference is it?
think of your happiness paying off your debt sooner...
 
Do not make a 100k bet on the vibe you got from the interview, you’re only seeing and talking to an extremely small subset of the school. If you are a happy(ish) person, you will find things you like and hate at both schools. Don’t waste your $ imo.
