Where would you go?

[WCGee]

So I have 15 days to decide and although I've done a lot of research on all 3 schools, outside opinions would be greatly appreciated:

Choice #1: Southern Illinois ~$38, 000. In state.
Choice #2: MCW ~$50,000. OOS, but close to home.
Choice #3: Penn State ~ $60,000. OOS, far far away from home.
Choice #4: Does not matter.

Are those numbers just for tuition?

saving $50-90,000 would be rather attractive to me.

I'd pick the cheapest one. Having a school loan the size of a house loan is gonna suck.

did any one of the schools give you that warm-fuzzy feeling?

Nope, it's their estimated total cost of attendance, so it includes housing and all that good stuff.

I felt pretty comfortable at all the schools although I liked PSU the best. My only reservation about SIU is their 100% PBL curriculum. My only reservation about MCW/PSU is the cost...and for PSU, it's a 12 hour drive which is kinda inconvenient.

Going to PSU would almost be like 6 years at SIU. Puts in in perspective.
