Hi Everyone! I recently got accepted into both UVM and UMass Amherst. I plan on taking the political science / global studies field. I am out of state for both of these schools, so I am basing my choice off of academics, quality, and overall financial aid and scholarship. So far I have received scholarship at both and am waiting to hear from FAFSA, but neither gave me enough money more than the other to make it a no-brainer decision.
For my field and value of education and opportunities I was wondering what the CC community though, I am oos from Maryland.
You do not get any money from FAFSA. Need based aid will come from the schools. If the bottom line cost is about the same, what type of environment do you want? UVM will have smaller classes.
I just posted the same exact thing yesterday! Check out my post, I listed all all the things I liked and didn’t like about the schools. Maybe some of the things will be an eye opener to you
