Michigan vs Case Western for Nursing

From what you write you will be expected to pay for college yourself - will your parents pitch in anything? As it is you can only borrow around $5k per year - your parents would need to co-sign any loans over that amount. At the prices you list, only Case is a possibility - $15k a year is an outstanding price to attend and you may be able to cover some of the expense by working during the year and in the summer so that you don’t owe the full amount ($60k). I see no path to Michigan - you don’t want to be borrowing hundreds of thousands of dollars. No nursing job will make paying that off easy.
