Free Tuition or Better Quality??

My advice would be to find affordable undergraduate colleges that you like (both reaches and matches) and major in whatever you want then come back to Kent State for your free Master’s if your Bachelor’s degree didn’t take you to an affordable M.Arch.
There are about 500 colleges between Kent State and Cornell or CMU, without exaggerating. Kent state is mostly commuter and close to open admissions. Even if that’s not true for architecture and you’d be in the Honors College, if you have stats for Cornell you could get into tOSU or Miami or OU, which are better than KSU - not to mention countless other private and OOS universities. Create a rational list with residential colleges, run the NPC and talk with your parents. If your choices were KSU, Cleveland State, UAkron, or YSU, I’s say KSu free tuition and don’t look back. But you shouldn’t be limiting your choices that early on.
So, run NPC’s and look for matches (not just KSU and two reaches).
