University of Washinton or University of Minnesota???

I live in the Chicago area and being close to home is pretty important to me, but I also really like the nature around Washington. Also i think i’d prefer to have warm weather with rain rather than cold and snowy! Where should i go, huh??

What are you planning to major in?

What’s your budget?
How much would each cost if you do (tuition+fees+ room&board) - (grants+scholarships) =?

My WI D is leaning toward warm rainy OR over cold snowy MN. For her being close to home is not a concern though. In fact, she’d prefer to spread her wings and be farther away.
