I don’t know where such misconceptions about Oxford come from. And the fact that parents buy into it (while also naively buying into the glamor of the overly hyped “top private research universities”). If the OP goes to the state school first using that sort of reasoning, then they don’t actually value the supposed advantages of a private school education (as they probably shouldn’t unless it’s an LAC, Caltech, Princeton, or something like that) or a liberal arts setting and honestly should not bother transferring into Emory because they should end up liking the state school a lot. If you feel that way about Oxford, I would really just save the money, go to the state school and graduate from it. Because the feelings about Oxford should be translated into the same feelings about most top private schools which are clearly overly expensive and still function like normal state research universities, but perhaps with smaller classes and sometimes more rigorous courses (again, when compared to more "standard state schools).



You realize he is not getting financial aid? There is no undergraduate program that is worth $54,720 per year. The practical answer is go with the cheaper option and save up for graduate school. OP is majoring in Biology so I am assuming pre-professional (premed, etc) in that case it really doesn’t matter which undergrad he goes to.
