help..JHU, Cornell, Northwestern, and CMU

I know that I’ll get a good education at any of those schools
and that the final decision is up to me,
but I would like to get some advice from you CC experts before I make the final choice!
I’ll major in Biomedical Engineering…
Money is a big factor for me, but since all schools offer me pretty much the same amount of aid, I don’t know what to do!

Cornell: 21K grant, 11K loans
Northwestern: 26K grant, 6.5K loans
CMU: 21K grant, 9K loans
JHU: 19K grant, 5K loans (I’ll probably get more aid b/c one of the financial aid officer said that I have a strong appeal)

I visited campuses, and I liked all of them (atmosphere, campus, etc)!
I don’t have any preference about whether it’s urban or rural…
And since I might change major later, school that has overall strong departments is an important factor for me as well.

Can anyone help me to decide where to go?!

<p>hmm NW Cornell and JHU are all good go to JHU i like their med programs</p>

<p>Do you like to cook for yourself and keep house and commute by bus? Not all the schools mentioned have guaranteed 4 years of housing. Commuting on a dark and stormy night, alone, without a warm meal waiting, or friends to banter with can be real sad.</p>
