Thank you so so so much for a large list of schools to look at!!
I don’t have a preference for a lot of these factors, but I would like to not have to fight to get into certain classes, if that makes sense. So, maybe a smaller school, but not totally small. Around 10k-15k students would be awesome, but obviously I’d be open to going anywhere that’ll fit most of my other wants. I’ve never been into athletics, so whether or not people around me enjoy them doesn’t matter much to me, but it’d be fun to go to a game every once in a while. For climate, I can handle pretty much anywhere I go, so it’s not in my mind when deciding a school. This may be a weird factor to consider, and it’s certainly me being picky, but I’d want to go somewhere that has a good looking campus. Thank you for helping me narrow down my selections!
Wow, I hadn’t even thought of doing this! Thank you, I’ll be sure to contact them.
Firstly, this was a very comprehensive list of schools, thank you so much! I’ll take a look at all of these schools as well.
For tuition there, my GI bill allows me to apply as an instate resident, meaning my cost of tuition would be much lower than OOS. I just looked it up, and that’s around 30k for the two years as apposed to the 80k I’d pay OOS, which seems like a great deal to me. UCSC was a school I was going to research as well, although it was mainly for their campus haha. It seems like a target school for me, so I’ll 100% consider UCSC.
No, the GI Bill will only cover 48 months of education benefits maximum. I went and talked to my parents about tuition for year 3 and 4, and they said they’ll pay as much as they need to for a public school for me to finish out my education. I just worry about making them pay too much for a school, so while it’s not a factor to them, I don’t want to go somewhere with an outrageous tuition.
I’ve heard great things about WPI as well. Thank you for the suggestion!
