Those are all very good point about generals. I think it would really help to be well rounded, and I do worry about not having that aspect of an education. And it would be really nice to be able to get to know the professors and them me.
But online is still really expensive and I can’t see it being doable, even with the scholarships that I would get. (Still like 50k in debt for undergrad)
Undergrad research is something that would be nice, but it’s not necessary for the universities I would apply to for grad school. (Plus at my flagship, the undergrad research is primarily focused on med, which is not what I’m interested in)
The smaller state school is only okay. It is known for having uncaring professors and it’s history department is very tiny. There would be no research opportunities, so I’m not sure it’s worth it. I think I’d go to this uni mostly for the “traditional” college experience.
I hope this made sense. I am very tired and very stressed out. I really appreciate all your help. This is a very big decision and it is helpful to understand the pros and cons of each option.
