<p>@kasmokia - did you get your early award letter from UGA and no aid other than HOPE?</p>
<p>If you like all of the schools the same, I think its fine to let the cost drive your decision. You will have loans for med school, so you should go the cheapest route for undergrad. I think all the schools are great choices and will help you reach your ultimate goal of med school.</p>
<p>I think each person will have to make the best of their college years and its up to you to determine what you will and will not do. If a student wants to party, they will find a party. If a student wants to have close contact with their professors, they can drive that, no matter the size of the school. So ultimately its up to you to make the best use of the resources available no matter which school you choose.</p>
