“@rjkofnovi, the OP said it will cost about $6500/year to attend ND, and that he will come out with no debt. That’s a pretty great deal, so we aren’t talking about a $50K difference anymore. Half that, and no debt. I think fit wins in this situation.”
“I am a resident of the state of Michigan, but have received a scholarship for full cost of attendance at Michigan, and I would have to pay about 10-12k/year at ND with Fin. Aid included.”
Missed the message with the cost being $6500.00/year. If that is the case, and the OP can afford the difference, then I agree with your statement.
