It's time for me to choose between UCLA, UCSF, and Michigan. I know all schools are good, and that I can't go wrong with any of those schools. But since I can only attend one of them, I gotta choose.
All schools are far from home so where I live is not a factor.
Michigan is the cheapest, but has bad weather.
Could someone help me make my decision??

You can switch residencies and get instate tuition at UCLA and UCSF after 1 year. However, you should know that the California public schools are all having massive tuition hikes (~32%).
 
Michigan.

I love it here. Winters suck! Football currently sucks too. But education and experience is pretty good.

Dental school is in the heart of ann arbor. UCSF and Umich are both baller in research. From what i hear, and have currently experienced our clinical skills are pretty good. Yeah we have crazy research but the definitely doesnt detract from our hands on experience.

my two cents...based on weather id go somewhere warmer (UCLA!)...

i love michigan (im an out of stater) and i dont regret my choice to come here over my state school

i've heard ucsf students have issues getting chairs booked all the time. i'd definitely check into that (especially if you're paying out-of-state tuition for 1 year and then hiked in-state prices for the next 3) before you make a decision about going there.
 
Thanks for all of you replying!

I still couldn't make a decision tho.. now I'm thinking between UCLA and UCSF, Michigan is gonna be too cold..

Any more suggestions guys??
 
Too cold? It's "cold" for a whopping 3-4 months out of the year. You'll be indoors most of your day, anyway. Unless we're talking about daily hurricanes, I wouldn't let weather play much of a factor in where you go to school...
