Any science PhD worth going to will be funded. And op only has to pay about $500 for Bates direct costs (and not even full federal loans), a college that has opportunities and resources UNH simply can’t approach. “Free” is not always the best value - you have to look at what you get; sometimes, a little investment goes a longer way (here, in terms of network, resources, etc.)
