Congrats on great options!!

Since both are comfortably affordable, which school does your child prefer?

If Honors is only at U Mass I’d have my child do a deeper dive on the program advantages.
My D’s honors college experience at a different school was fantastic. It did open pathways to earlier job opportunities, guaranteed research, honors specific study abroad, etc…. She had a very competitive post graduation job offer in hand before she even started her senior year, and knew it was coming when she was still a first semester junior. That wouldn’t have happened without her honors college.
