UT Dallas Honors and Lafayette College

I’m intending to pursue Mechanical Engineering. I have received a full-tuition scholarship at UTD and been admitted to the honors college. Although I have not heard of Lafayette college yet, but still I want to be prepared for my decision.

At UTD, my average cost is supposedly around 10000$ annually. If Lafayette admits me with me paying 15000$ annually (20000$ more for 4 years in comparison to UTD), does its education worth my contribution? I really want Lafayette, but my financial status is not really strong. Please advise me. Thank you in advance.

Until you have an acceptance and financial information from Lafayette it is impossible to opine.
