I have three choices to choose from for school, but the matter of pros/cons including my lack of family support(they refuse to even go on campus tours with me an hour away), so I feel like some advice as to which UG would be the more practical/most advantageous decision.
UG #1 - is two and a half hours away, public school. tuition is incredibly cheap(10k) and has a small student body, giving more room to stand out. the downside is that the academics are only so-so.
UG#2 - is three hours away, another public school, with just as nice tuition rates (12k). again, the academics are only so-so.
UG#3 - is one hour away, close to home. it's a private school and the tuition is 39k a year, though the school is known for being extremely generous in scholarship and financial aid for its students. it also has a pre-health board committee, the only school in my state with one. it has incredible feedback as a university.
i'm wondering if all the pros of the third, obviously top choice outweigh the pros of the much less expensive schools, given my lack of family support for education.
