Either way I’d receive about 30K in federal loans (students in health professions) and 2-4K in work-study. If I went to Michigan I’d have to take out additional loans.

UCLA is probably the easier choice - I’ve lived in SoCal since beginning undergrad, have a support system of friends and family out here, and, being from the Midwest, I won’t say I don’t enjoy the weather. However, I’m not against seasons or making new friends (I’m just against taking out tons of loans if the difference really isn’t going to be that significant).
