Ohio State vs. University of Wisconsin chemical engineering

If you got a full ride to Ohio State or had to pay 20,000 to University of Wisconsin, assuming you major in chemical engineering, where would you go. Also, not really interested in phd.

This should be a no-brainer to be honest--go with OSU. I mean, it's not even like comparing a full ride at OSU to paying for the tuition at Cal Berkeley.

They maybe ranked. But between going to a good school where you can get a full ride and a reputable chemical engineering program, I'd go with the prior.

Prestige isn't worth $20k.

Is that $20k every year or over the course of four years? If it's over four years, then I think you can let a lot more of it come down to how well the school fits you.
