University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign vs American University - Political Science

Thanks and yes, totally agree. We have explained to him he might switch majors and UIUC might be better for that (if outside of what we’re discussing now with poli sci or public policy, etc). We’ve explained that we might be able to help with grad school if he chooses UIUC. I can see both sides of the argument, quite honestly. And I don’t know if we should play the parent card and say we’re going to play it safe and choose UIUC. He said he’s made up his mind on American already. Do we support that or step in and say no, financially UIUC makes more sense.
Parenting is tough!
