<p>I am a massachusetts resident, and I have been admitted to the honors programs at both Umass amherst and uconn, and then also holy cross and boston college. At the moment BC and HC are off the table due to lack of financial aid, both are over 50K and I only got 10k a year, but its becoming an increasingly more difficult decision to make between umass and uconn. With scholarships, aid, and what not both uconn and umass will cost around 10k a year which seems like the most logical decision. I believe I will be majoring in math with a possible minor in finance and see law or grad school as a definite in the future. Between Uconn and Umass which is a better choice?? I love both campuses, they are very similar, Uconn has better sports but umass is in a better location (and I like the 5 college resources). In terms of top law and grad schools, are uconn or umass seen at the same level or is one superior to the other?? Any help or input will be greatly appreciated!! Thank you very much..</p>
<p>I would go for UMass-Amherst. It should be cheaper and is as good or better than UConn. HC and BC are excellent as well but very costly as you say and not worth going into major debt.</p>
<p>Did you get the Abigal Adams Scholarship? If so, that should take a couple of thousand dollars a year off of your tuition bill. Why is UCONN out of state the same as UMASS, in state?
I vote for Amherst over Storrs. The five college consortium would be a plus.</p>
