Hi, I am high school senior in Texas trying to scoose a college to go to. I have two options for college. I have University of Miami and UT dallas. I got a full ride from UTD, and for UM, I have to pay 34k per year. I will be majoring in mathematics (applied) in the fall for both colleges. I was hoping to get some information on how good the math programs are for these colleges since I was not really successful finding info on math programs for both colleges, so I do not have good idea of how great math programs are. Any inputs will be appreciated. Thank you for your time!!
Can your family pay $34k/year without borrowing? If you can get a degree with no debt that sounds like a great deal.
If your family can afford 34k/year I would say go for Miami. However, it’s probably not worth going into 120k+ in debt for an undergrad degree. UTD is a great school and being able to go for free is an incredible opportunity
I would go to UTD regardless of ability to pay. No brainer. Maybe your parents would give you some of the difference.
