<p>This may seem like a no brainer to some, with the obvious choice being UC Davis. However, prices of tuition worry me greatly and I know that I want to go onto graduate school so that I don't have to teach high school as a career. I am a math major with high grades and recently got accepted into both CSU Sacramento and UC Davis. I wanted to stay in that area as my mother lives near there and is very sick.</p>
<p>Anyways, I am having trouble deciding between the low prices of Sacramento (I could probably pay for it entirely out of my own pocket) or the prestige of UC Davis. As a math major, I know that having a PHD or a Masters is extremely important. I also have researched and from the information I've compiled, I've gathered that your past research opportunities will count heavily towards your acceptance at a good grad school. I've already won the opportunity to conduct research in Microgravity via a NASA Community College program. However, I've been told that research opportunities aren't very ample in the state school system.</p>
<p>Basically, I'm just asking for advice on what the rest route might be. </p>
<p>PS: I posted this in the College Search forum but this forum might be more appropriate.</p>
