<p>i got into UCSD ME as well...UMich's ME is ranked higher, but i dunno. SD's ME is supposedly #11 in some rankings. if you don't wanna leave CA stick with SD but if u want the better program go with Mich</p>

<p>^^UCSD would be around ~20k (instate) and UMich ~$40k </p>

<p>it is basically double the cost for me to go to UMich which has a (slightly) better program. </p>

<p>also i would have to take out a lot of loans to go on to graduate school (which is a likely possibility).</p>

<p>is UMich undergrad better than a UCSD undergrad + UMich grad school (for example)??</p>

<p>Graduate school doesn't often cost much, does it?</p>

<p>Professional schools (law, med, biz) cost a lot, but PhD programs are almost always fully funded (tuition and stipend). MS programs are somewhere in the middle, depending on the school and major.</p>
