Should I go to CU Boulder or a state college?

I assume that you mean $55,000 over 4 years, or $13,750/yr, right? Even that is a very big scholarship for CU.
I work for CU and I can tell you that the administration is very serious about its Engineering school, and especially proud of Aerospace. The new Dean of Engineering is Bobby Braun, who has extensive connections to NASA (as does my boss, who shall remain nameless). Boulder is a big hub for the aerospace industry, and growing. If you can make the cost work, and you are ready to compete in a tough (but exciting) school, it might be worth the investment.
