UIC vs Michigan State vs Iowa State

Haha, I love the pros of the schools. UIC would be the cheapest and most convenient. I believe it will be 24k with rooming included and ISU might be 36k(maybe) with rooming. My parents have about 2 years saved up for ISU and the rest would be on my own, but at that point UIC seems like the smartest option. I’m still in that grieving process of not getting into an ideal school, so I might be overlooking the potential the schools offer.
