I’m currently deciding between UGA and the university of Miami. I would be and Exercise Science major on the pre-med track and I can’t decide between both schools. I know that Umiami is more expensive but it’ also more diverse, which is something I look for in a school and it’s close to Miami. What should I do.

Run the numbers. If you are serious about med school, your best option is to choose the least expensive of these two, so that you have money left over to help pay for med school.
How much more expensive is UMiami? Can your family comfortably afford to pay for UMiami undergrad and med school (with no loans/no hardship)? If they can afford it then choose the undergrad school you prefer, if money is a concern then UGA is probably the wise choice.
@happy1 Miami is around 50k-75k a year and uga is about 20k including everything.
- You need to figure out the cost of UMiami with more certainty.
- You need to determine if your family afford UMiami comfortably -- meaning no debt/no hardship.
