GA Tech vs. Purdue vs. UCSD

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I've limited my choices down to these three colleges. I've been accepted to all three under Aerospace Engineering. I am an in-state CA resident. With aid it turns out GA Tech will put me in debt about $5,000/year without a Master's degree, Purdue will give me no debt but no Master's degree, and UCSD will give me no debt and a Master's degree. From a financial perspective, UCSD seems like the obvious choice, but GA Tech/Purdue are highly regarded as great engineering schools. Is it worth spending the extra money (and perhaps a good deal of debt for a Master's degree) to go to GA Tech/Purdue, or should I just stick with UCSD for Aerospace Engineering?</p>

<p>Thanks for any input people!</p>

<p>Those are three good schools for Aerospace Engineering, i can understand why you are having difficulty choosing.</p>

<p>I would go to GA Tech and spend the extra money and risk the debt for a Masters degree. </p>

<p>I would pick Ga Tech b/c you sound like you don't really want to go to UCSD, and if you do go to Ga Tech you have the opprotunity to do co-op which will be very beneficial in a finacial situation.</p>
