Hi just wanted some possible input; I got into these schools all for electrical engineering (also got into vassar, Boston college, and some more LACs). I know that UCLA’s engineering is more prestigious than NU’s, however I received a 14k a year scholarship to NU and didn’t receive any money to UCLA. Which means that net price would be 60K/year for UCLA and 46k/year for NU. Due to my family situation, my parents can pay 30k a year and we do not qualify for any financial aid or grants/loans. Is UCLA 14k a year better? in total loans would be 64k for NU and 120k for UCLA; it just seems to me that 120,000 is a lot of money to go into debt for undergrad.
thanks-
