I've been losing sleep over this - UCSC for 34k, UDub for 51k or URochester for 57k?

Any other thoughts?

Go where you are happy! You will do better!

How are you bearing the cost of $80k loans over 4 years? You can only borrow~$5500/year on your own. Do you have any acceptances that don’t require huge loans?

@pleasgod UMD isn’t 48k per year. It is closer to 52K as there is a tuition differential charge of $1400 per semester for CS majors. I believe that kicks in after freshman year but could kick in earlier if you have credits that transfer or AP credit. I think the max you pay is 4 semesters. Check their website for details.
