I had it narrowed down to four colleges but undecided on the best option.
Would love to hear from others that are more familiar.
My major is undecided, but looking at the science research area.
My colleges listed below and the cost of each AFTER the scholarships and grants I have been awarded.
University of Miami (30,000 after scholarships and grants)
Purdue University ((31,000 after presidential award)
Ohio State University (28,000 after scholarships)
North Carolina State University (22,000 using the Net Price Calculator from their website)
What are your opinions of these four?
What kind of sciences are most interesting to you?
What GPA threshold must you meet to renew the scholarships?
Will any of these be affordable without loans greater than the federal direct loans ($5,500 the first year)?
@ucbalumnus
GPA needed for scholarships:
Miami - 3.0
Purdue - 3.0
Ohio State - 2.5
North Carolina State - unknown since I used the Net Price Calculator
Animal Science interests me the most, but I am not sure as of yet.
All will be affordable per discussion with parents.
It looks like Purdue, tOSU, and NCSU have animal science departments. It does not look like Miami (the one in Florida) has such a department, although you may want to see if relevant courses are offered in other departments (e.g. biology).
