Thanks Snorky. I always admire Michigan for what is stand as one of the best or top 10 engineering school nationally and probably worldwide. I also concentrated on UM since I was studying in OCC and took almost all tranferable courses to UM-engineering. By now, I have 61 tranferable credits. Yet, the cost of it as OOS tuition is the killing part. The financial/loan offer by private lender plus the some financial aid I recieved to carry in the future may become heavy burden. Many ppl discourge me from studying Computer Science with all scary outsourcing tales but I stil believe the CS field is growing. Should I continue and encourge myself to accept alternative loan from private lender such as Citi bank education loan and cover the remaining unmet cost and do my best after graduating from UM? Oh, i also got work-study award but not famililar with it, maybe I should call the Financial Aid Dept. for details?
