Which University should I go to?
So I thought I was already set on going to Bowling Green & paid my housing deposit which is refundable & I already have my roommate. I really loved the campus & everyone was so welcoming. I want to major in Healthcare Administration & at Bowling Green I would have to do 4 years as an undergrad & 2 years online to get my master's which I want. On Sunday though I was accepted into Purdue University which is one of the best University's in the country. It's like #25 compared to Bowling Green which is like #189. At Purdue I would have to do 4 years as an undergrad & 1 year as a graduate, so one less year compared to Bowling Green. Also Purdue has more notable alumni & more opportunities for internships etc. Purdue's cost is $23,000 while Bowling Green's is $27,000, but Bowling Green already gave me a $7,000 scholarship plus another $3,000 I might get from them. I haven't applied for any Purdue scholarships, because I didn't even know if I was going to get accepted especially since they sent out the notice so late. Purdue is 2 1/2 hours from where I live same distance as Bowling Green except Purdue is in state for me. What scares me about Purdue is that 38,000 students go there compared to $16,000 at Bowling Green so I feel like I would just be a number & be taking a lot of lecture classes at Purdue. I haven't visited Purdue yet, but I've seen videos & it looks amazing. I'm not sure what to do though my parents say they support me for whichever decision I make...

Go visit Purdue as your #1 priority. When you do, bring your financial aid award letter from Bowling Green, and (call first, please, set up an appointment) you and your parents meet with someone in financial aid at Purdue. Tell them BG gave you $7k, and another $3k has been promised. Ask Purdue if there is anything that they can do to help you with aid, so you can perhaps go there. Financial aid is negotiable, and since you really need to see the campus, anyway, you might as well use part of that time to try to make Purdue less expensive for you.
During your visit to Purdue, take a formal campus tour, eat lunch in one of the places on campus, talk to some students there. See if you can arrange (do this in advance) to sit in on a class in your major. Then see how you feel about the place. Some large unis do amazing jobs of making the place feel smaller, so see how you feel once you've been there. Then decide.
