<p>Oh, and I want to major in Biomedical Engineering.</p>

<p>Tech is in-state, my family would be nearby, I have friends here already. I know it sounds cheesy, but its a lot easier having a support system here.</p>

<p>I'm completely in love with UCSD, although I haven't been able to visit the campus since I live so far. I've "attended" every web seminar, virtual tour, etc. possible. However, my parent's aren't for it because of distance and financial reasons.</p>

<p>UM doesn't have as great of a BME program as Tech or UCSD. But I love the campus and Florida in general. I know the area pretty well, but I don't if i could sacrifice having the "better" education. Also, i haven't received my financial aid package yet, so financial reasons is a con, too.</p>

<p>Welll.. I don't know where to go. Not sure if I should just go to Tech for two years and then transfer or what...</p>

<p>Tech is top of the line. If you value education over quality of life, I would pick GT in a heartbeat, especially for BME.</p>

<p>I know this is coming a bit late so I’m sorry about that but UCSD is the absolute best for BME (its ranked 1, better than JHU), great research opportunities, a lot of job fairs and internships. I understand the financial situation but as for distance, I’m coming from another country</p>

<p>always recommend for a student to go to college far away from where they grew up in order to experience a different culture.</p>

<p>for undergraduate, Georgia Tech and UCSD are about the same in BME…</p>

<p>the biggest game changer might come in the different in net cost…</p>

<p>break down the cost per year for each.</p>
