UConn vs. BU vs. MCPHS

<p>I am from CT and have been accepted to UConn (~$17k), BU (~47k), and MCPHS (~30k...comes down to ~19k w/ merit scholarships). Cost is a factor but I am not recieving financial aid so prices are as listed. BU was initially my top choice out of those schools but my father thinks it is a waste of money because it would not provide a much better education than UConn for the price. UConn is a good school but I don't like the area and want to get out of CT... I am scared if I go to UConn I will be miserable and not perform well academically. I read some very poor reviews from students that had attended MCPHS but the feedback on this website was not that bad which makes me unsure of what to think. I don't know who else to ask because most people I don't seem to know much about the school (which doesn't seem like a good sign in itself) and I couldn't find any info on their med school acceptance rate. I would consider transferring from MCPHS but I don't know a lot about credit acceptance and the transferring process in general. </p>

<p>I also got waitlisted at Fordham (~45k I believe) but I won't find out about their decision until next week. I don't think this school would be as strong as the others for pre-med but please correct me if I'm wrong.</p>

<p>I would appreciate as much imput as possible on these three schools and which I should choose. I don't have a lot of time to decide and I am very confused so this really means a lot. Thank you!!</p>

<p>Your father is a smart man...listen to him. I am graduating from UConn debt free in less than two weeks. It is a great feeling.</p>
