@2020classx I’ve been accepted into all three programs, but I got a half-tuition scholarship to USC while UT and UMich haven’t given me anything as of yet. and @Wolverine19 thank you for your detailed response, that really helped
I know it sounds petty, but the change in weather is my biggest concern about Michigan. I’m all for having 4 seasons but I’m worried that I’ll get all depressed from October to March as the weather turns south. I love the idea of a college town, so Ann Arbor sounds amazing, but USC is by the beaches and downtown LA even though its in a pretty shady neighborhood.
Also, you brought up something that I noticed at USC. The engineering buildings actually looked nice! At almost every other college that I’ve visited, the business and liberal arts schools were beautiful while the engineering buildings were older and outdated (at UT they were still using chalkboards in the Aerospace Engineering building). Does Michigan fall more into the second type? I know it sounds weird but I feel like having all my classes in old/outdated buildings would get to me after a while.
