<p>I narrowed my choices down to UMich and Rutgers (down from UM, RU, U Illinois, and Drexel). UMich is giving me 23,195 (3000 is Federal work-study). That leaves around 30,000 if I dont take the work-study (not sure if i should or shouldn't. Rutgers is giving 5,000. That leaves around 20,000 (I live in NJ but i'll be dorming). I'll be majoring in Mech. Engineering. To me it looks like i should go to UM, eyes closed. What's the right choice? Also if I go to Michigan, I could stay with family off-campus (5-10 bus ride). Should I dorm or stay off-campus. Any advice?</p>
<p>go blue! (and stay in the dorm if you want to make friends at college)</p>
