^I’ve campus visited both schools. Yes. And I’ve done orientation at UMich.

But this choice is definitely easier said than done. My head is twirling in all directions. I find mixed opinions on this site - go to Chicago, go to Michigan. Then, there are my parents. My parents tell me that they can afford for my Chicago education but nothing else, especially when my sister enters college in 2 years. My mom tells me Michigan, but my dad says Chicago. Then, there’s a friend who tells me that she knows a UMich Ross Business School professor who thinks that going to Chicago is definitely worth 140k. And he teaches at Michigan!

Still, I just don’t see a definite “right” choice (unlike drinking vs. abstaining), and that is what’s making this so hard and frustrating.
