Hi there! I’m trying to decide between a couple different schools, and would love to hear some feedback. I am planning on double majoring in neuroscience and spanish, and hopefully attending medical school after undergrad. Because of COVID, I haven’t been able to tour any of the campuses, but with virtual tours and meetings, I’ve been able to tell which schools I’m leaning towards. Here are the schools I was accepted to:

Pitt: accepted into honors, in-state tuition and scholarship, will cost ~22k/yr, don’t love the campus, want to go OOS for college

UMiami: with a scholarship it will still cost ~48k/yr, love the campus and can totally see myself attending

Virginia Tech: will cost ~48k/yr, i like the campus but not as much as Miami

Penn State: will cost ~31k/yr, I dont love the campus

I know that I should choose the cheapest school, but I can truly not see myself being happy at either of the PA schools. Is it worth the extra money to go OOS? Advice please!!
