Intended major: economics
Applying for economics major but there’s a major called economic consulting at Kelley so I got into that but I got into economics at A&M CAS rather than mccombs which is really more ranked than the college of arts and sciences. IU COA would be about 41k per year OOS and A&M would be about 30k depending whether it’s on campus or not
IU pros
- better ranking than A&M
- beautiful campus
- 16k per year scholarship
- not sure of the weather but I think it’s nicer cause it snows and I’ve never seen snow and the other seasons are nice too I guess
IU cons
- out of state tuition
- further from family (even though it’d still be kinda far at A&M)
Texas A&M pros
- in state tuition
- closer to family but the drive would be 2-4 hours so I couldn’t really visit too often
- it’s like 10k less expensive than IU but money isn’t too much of a problem but I’d like to not be much of a financial burden on my parents
Texas A&M cons
- maybe not as lgbtq friendly as IU? Not really sure kinda need help w this one
- cas here isn’t as great as Kelley but I wouldn’t worry that much abt ranking
Tiebreakijg conclusions
- how isolated are the towns of the colleges? I come from a very dull isolated place and would hate to go to another similar place
- mentioned it above but lgbtq friendliness is a little important but as long as I can make nice friends it’s not too much of a deal
