UCI or Pepperdine, I can't decide!

[Shan M.]

I'm struggling on my decisions! Please help and thank you in advance!!

UCI MPP:

Pros:

-VERY close to home

-Don't have to pay rent

-Will have food readily available

-It's a good college

-$3,000 fellowship

-$17,000 tuition after fellowship reward (with no rent)

Cons:

-Kind of want to get out of "comfort zone"

-PROGRAM IS NEW

Pepperdine MPP

Pros:

-Established program

-Private school

-AMAZING campus

-$14,000 scholarship

Cons:

-$39,000 tuition ($25,000 after scholarship)

-Expensive rent

-Won't get fed like I would if I stayed home and commuted to UCI

-Rated number 90 in public affairs (out of 200 ish?)

THANKS AGAIN GUYS!!!
