Similarities
-Bad Weather LMAO
-cost does not matter to me
-FYE

University Of Michigan
Michigan Pros:

  • School atmosphere seemed more spirited when i visited
    -good football team
  • unique program (college of climate and space sciences and engineering)
    -colors
    -had such a great experience in my visit, got to test something with an undergrad researcher on a boat
    -amazing alumni connections
    -felt like home when i toured

Michigan Cons:
-i haven’t been accepted (i’m delulu i know)

  • not as good for aerospace as purdue
    -cost (i’m not paying but i don’t want to make my parents pay twice as much)

Purdue
Purdue Pros:

  • #3 undergrad aerospace engineering
  • i’m in honors college
    -we might be moving to indiana for my dads work?
    -i got a free t-shirt
    -someone has already asked to be my roommate

Purdue Cons:
-ugly colors
-not a great location, i’m from the bay area so much more used to nature and cities and ocean and mountains all in my backyard
-barely any football, plus all the engineering students made fun of anyone else who watched athletics when i toured
-didn’t have the “this is home” feeling when i visited

Tiebreaking considerations:

  • If i heard more stories of purdue having good school spirit and support, it feels like i deciding between having a good school experience and having a good life experience
    -lgbtq acceptance and community
    -Someone just tell me to go to purdue please
