Oh ill add that

finite holly
#

i would also say that uiuc and purdue both dont have decent weather (at least for me)

#

and about the parties, most schools will have parties. purdue is a huge party school (except for cs and engineering lol), but you can def avoid them. its what you make of it

I was unsure to add to my list cause that's delusional

Have you done a Net Price Calculator for your colleges? I am noting this as GaTech, Purdue, and Michigan are public universities not in your state and would not have as good financial aid to hand out for you.

#

GaTech and Michigan are actually one of the few public universities that actually give decent aid to OOS Students(I myself am going to Michigan for free), but the aid is not as good as compared to top privates, and even then that type of aid typically works out better with those that are quite low income.

#

I recommend using the Net Price Calculator and see based on that estimate, is that an affordable option

#

In addition, although I understand your wish to get out of NY State, I still highly recommend that you still have some options in NY, as it would be best to have colleges in your state that you could hopefully attend to at an affordable price if things go south.

#

One good example is the University at Buffalo

#

Given costs are an important factor for you, it would be important but understanding for you to note that some preferences may not always hand out to your way.

#

If you need aid, as an oos UCSD won't give much if any

#

Expect to pay like 80-90k

#

In general, publics wont give aid

#

Surprised you left out Purdue, which is one the best aerospace program in the nation.

#

and a lot cheaper than others as OOS

So replace UCSD with purdue
