@comradekiwi I’m rooting for you! You’ve given this lots of thought and know what you can handle.I’m also already impressed by how resourceful you are. (Check out how you’ve researched this decision!) You can tell your parents that if it turns out that your needs aren’t being met at CMU – which doesn’t sound like it would happen – you could always transfer to CWRU, whereas the reverse transfer would probably cost much more due to losing financial aid. You can definitely do this.
