<p>I am a Michigan resident down to 3 choices, Northwestern, U of M, and Michigan State.</p>

<p>I can go to Northwestern for about 15,000, U of M for about 7,000, or MSU for about +9,000 (I have a scholarship and relative contributing generous amount even if I take that scholarship).</p>

<p>However, after visiting each school a few times, I definitely like NU and U of M quite a bit more than MSU, perhaps leaning most towards U of M with my gut.</p>

<p>Here is where most people say it really depends on your field of study but just to be clear from the outset, I'm not really sure what I want to go into (I am in MSU Honors, LSA Honors, and WCAS at NU), but am fairly confident that I will want to go into some type of graduate program and want to have nearly all options open for that (assuming I work hard enough in undergrad). Any thoughts?</p>

<p>A combination of gut and a fuller wallet is tough to beat unless you are hopelessly in love with NU.</p>

3

<p>Go to Michigan for ug. It's the best deal of the three and you like it. An easy choice.</p>

<p>Northwestern's price is much harder to justify if you're instate for Michigan.</p>

<p>You get to save $30,000 over 4 years by attending Michigan. That's not bad, especially if you intend on going on to graduate school some day. If you like Michigan and NU about the same, I say go for Michigan. And don't worry about academics. Michigan and NU are both strong accross the academic spectrum. You are unlikely to have a bad department at either school. Bottom line, NU is great, but Michigan is just as great and more fun! hehe!</p>
