UT is less expensive – about $80,000 total versus $140,000 total for four years at Emory or $105,000 for three years at Emory plus whatever it costs for two years at Georgia Tech.

And you said that you don’t like Georgia Tech, so would you really want to spend two years there?

Others have said that those planning 3-2 starting at a four year school (as opposed to a community college) rarely go through with it, having settled into their first school and not wanting to transfer. Also, curriculum / prerequisite mismatches may make planning courses at the second school more difficult. Basically similar issues as those who start off at community college, but starting off at a four year school is much more expensive than starting off at a community college.
