U of Minn -vs- NDSU

<p>I've been accepted into both the schools, just not sure which one to choose. I qualify for in state tuition for both universities through a reciprocity program, but the cost of NDSU is much less. It would cost around 10,000 a year, whereas Minnesota would cost hopefully around 18,000 (I haven't received scholarships yet, but I'm suspecting it will be about this price). Which university should I choose? UMN is a much better institution, but is the extra cost worth is? Any other advise I could receive on either of the universities?
-thanks in advance!</p>

<p>It may depend on your academic and career goals, as well as whether and how much debt would be involved at each.</p>
