Reminds me of a good point - in addition to comparing the $$/year, you’ll want to consider the GPA required for renewal. I don’t know if “guaranteed” means no minimum GPA. But on this board we’ve seen required GPA’s varying from say 2.7 (very doable in most any major) to 3.7 (very scary for any major, especially the notoriously low-grading ones like Engineering, to the point of almost being bait-and-switch).
