@lama1293, you don’t HAVE to live on-campus all your four years. You can always move off-campus after your freshman year. In your circumstances, your best friend and you can lease an apartment within walking distance of the campus. For the record, on-campus housing is only guaranteed for three years.
wrt “you end up having to teach most of the material to yourself”: That is the case in ANY university (especially at a state university!). You’re not in high school anymore.

As far as the OP is concerned, I’d say: go to Georgia Tech. Save the money for grad school - you’ll need a master’s if you do enter the Biomedical Engineering field.
