<p>I have friends who attend UAlbany and they say it’s great. They’re in Honors College, which may give a different experience. Ohio State seems like it would definitely have the full college experience, though almost too much, and I don’t want to get caught up in the experience. </p>
<p>I think it will really come down to financial aid, which I haven’t discussed with either university. If I can get a good package from UAlbany that brings the cost down half, that’d probably be the swing vote. Being close-but-not-to-close to home seems good, too. </p>
<p>Thanks for all your help. I’d love to hear some more opinions, but you’ve all been more than helpful.</p>
