Tech or The Institute

Hi all,

So I have a bit of a predicament that I’m sure a lot of my peers are familiar with: deciding on the school.

I’ve narrowed it down to two, MIT and Georgia Tech. Now…the catch is that, after all scholarship money is taken into account, MIT would cost me ~12k a year (family could pay for it no big deal…but I’d be doing ROTC, which I want to do anyways, but could take away from the college experience). Now, Georgia Tech would be absolutely free…

I want to do aerospace engineering. MIT is ranked #1, Georgia Tech is #2. I want to serve in the military anyways, so doing ROTC isn’t a big deal (and I might do it at Tech anyways). But is MIT worth the 50k a year more than Tech?

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
