I have been accepted into both, and was incredibly set on Michigan State until I saw how big it is and how much more expensive it is. I accepted Northern Michigan in December and am now questioning my decision. I plan to go into animal science/zoology and go onto vet school later on. I also question other majors from time to time, but am pretty much set on the pre-vet path. Student debt is a real concern for me, but I’m also nervous about being so far from home. I’m questioning if it would be better for me to attend Michigan State since it would be closer to home, and have more veterinary opportunities. The difference in student loans would be a little over $10,000. My mother always freaks out when I mention how I may not have made the right choice so I don’t feel like I can really talk to her about this. I only have a couple days to make this decision unless I want to transfer.
