Free Tuition or Better Quality??

Hi,

I’m a rising senior in high school who has a few options for where I go to college. Fortunately, since my father is faculty at Kent State University in Kent, OH, I could get free tuition there up until I’m 28 years old (so…basically for all types of undergrad and grad programs). However, I think I have grades and test scores that could surpass what KSU asks from students, so I feel that I could get into some better schools. But then again, Kent State isn’t a bad school per say, especially their architecture program, which is what I’d want to major in. So, I guess my question is: Do you think I should play it safe and go to KSU (assuming I get in), or should I go elsewhere if it’s a better quality school and fits my needs more than KSU? Is it worth sacrificing a ‘better’ education to save myself a lot of debt from student loans? Thank you so much!!
