I am from Florida and am deciding between these two schools.
UF is completely free (full ride).
Georgia Tech will cost roughly 20k/year. This is affordable for the most part, but money is definitely a factor.
Is it worth paying 80k more (over 4 years) for an ENGINEERING degree from Georgia Tech?
At the moment, I don’t think I’ll want to go to grad school.
Thank you everyone!
Any idea where you want to work when you graduate? If Florida and you like UF, then that full ride would be pretty hard to pass up.
@milee30 I am content working in either Florida or Georgia… maybe prefer Georgia because it isn’t so darn hot.
But I think a degree from Georgia Tech will definitely allow me to work anywhere in the country.
IDK I feel like it’s a bad idea to pass up on the offer from Tech, being that I received a decent amount of merit aid from them, and not many do.
Yes, that would be a tough decision. On the plus side, it would be hard to go way wrong with either choice. Congratulations on the work you did to have such good options.
