hello.

i’m a canadian citizen and US green card holder living overseas. so i’ve gotten into these 4 universities for engineering. i know Umich is one heck of a school but the thing is i got very little financial aid which means my parents will have to pay at least $35k a year. and they cannot afford that. its the same cost for UIUC and BU. However for Uni of toronto, i only have to pay 20k a year. so i was wondering how do UMICH and UIUC compare to UToronto in the engineering department. UMICH is definitely my first choice but i’ll have to take out at least 15k worth of loans each year if i wanna go there. is it worth coming out with a 60k debt and a UMICH degree after 4 years. or should i just go to Utoronto and save for grad school?

thanks for the help guys.
