UMiami or FIU

Provided that I matriculate from the waitlist from the U... should I go to UMiami or FIU? I want to go into aerospace engineering & pre-med, and FIU doesn't have aerospace engineering. However, UMiami is about 10 times as expensive as FIU.

I must be missing something here. If FIU doesn't have your major, why would you go there regardless of price!?

embry riddle comes to mind lol. But you didn't apply there. IO hope you have more than just these two schools because it could be a sticky situation if you don't get off the waitlist at miami (God willing you do,) then you would have to go to fiu and they don't have your major. hmm.

Embry riddle is quite a-ways expensive than UM, considering that I would have to live there. And I think ME and AE are the same for the first 2 years... so hopefully my credits will transfer if I go to UM in the spring.

Put it this way,

A diploma from Miami is gonna look a lot more BETTER than a degree from FIU and definitely more job opportunities. Miami has a HUGE alumni network that is there to help out current students find jobs and internships.
