I’m in-state at Illinois and I’m trying to decide between: University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign ($27k), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ($37k), and University of Michigan Ann Arbor ($47k)–>idk how much FAFSA/Scholarships I’ve gotten yet.

-I’m going to major in Psychology and possibly human nutrition/dietetics and I’m going pre-med
-I’m in the honors program at Illinois & Michigan
-Study abroad is important
-Money matters, but it isn’t the most important factor.
-Class size doesn’t matter
-I’ve visited Illinois & Michigan–> I loved Michigan and liked Illinois.

My main question is: are Michigan & UNC really worth the out of state fees? I don’t want to spend my life paying back loans. I know I’d probably be happy at any of the three, but which one has the best “value”?
