<p>I am in a similar situation to those waffling between a less expensive state school and a private school- for me, it’s UMich and UChicago. While I love Uchi, I am struggling with the fact that it costs double what I’d pay instate for UMich (even with my merit scholarship; we did not get any FA). My situation is a bit different from the OPs- any advice or thoughts would be appreciated!</p>
