<p>So I got into George Washington, Boston University, and the University of Michigan but I'm having problems deciding where to go. I want to major in International Relations, which leaves GW as the obvious choice. However, I'm instate for U of M which would make my tuition very low, and U of M is better ranked. I received $26,000 from GW, but it's $50,000 a year. Then there's Boston where I received $16,000. I like Boston and GW the best, but my parents are pushing for U of M for the price, but I really would like to get out of here. What do you think?</p>
<p>I would say go to Michigan. Neither BU or GW are that good in IR. Michigan is ranked among the top 3 nationally in Political Science. Michigan's connections to Washington and the government are at least as string as GW's connections. But Michigan has a better record at getting students to Law schools than GW. And should you decide once you are in college that Political Science/IR is not for you, at least Michigan is a top ranked university...GW isn't.</p>
