I was accepted to both the University of Minnesota and the University of Chicago! Yay.
I received the Title IV-E fellowship at Minnesota which will cover my tuition and also guarantee me work after school is over. U of Chicago also gave me a very good scholarship but I would still have to pay some tuition. I am attracted to U of C because it's in Chicago, it's a prestigious school with a large intellectual community. I am torn between staying in MN and having very little debt or taking a chance on a new city at a prestigious school.
Anybody have advice?
