Should I go to LSU??

I really don’t know if I should go to LSU or not. I live in Florida, and always have, but we’re (my mom, dad, and sister) are literally the only ones in our ENTIRE family who don’t live in Louisiana. I’ve been raised to be a tiger fan; I can’t remember ever not being one.

I’ve always just kind of assumed I was going to LSU, and that was that, but now I’m doubting it. I’m really serious about being a dentist, and I’m concerned I won’t get a great education at LSU. I want to go to University of Pacific (the second best dental school in the US), and I really don’t want to be behind or lost there from not getting a great education.

Unless I can get tuition for less than $20K per year, I want to go to a state university for sure, since I’ll be in college for possibly over 8 years, which will already put me in enough debt as it is. Should I just go to FSU or UF? Financially it makes more sense, but I’ve just always really wanted to live in Louisiana, at least for just a couple years. Florida really doesn’t feel like home to me, plus my parents are planning on moving to New Orleans in the next four years or so once my sister leaves high school.

I don’t want to go to a school just for the great football team or partying, I’d rather sacrifice that for a good education.

Any advice?? If you go to LSU, could you tell me if it was worth it?

Thanks
