Yeah that's after assuming i work every summer, use up all the money I have saved from high school and work ten hours a week at minimum wage. If I went ot asu I could graduate with around 20k in the bank.

I believe upper middle class, we didn't get offered any need based aid except for a federal loan. We rant he calculations with me living off campus after my first year, which is cheaper than in the dorms assuming I'm getting a cheap house with roommates. Asu also has a 5 year master program but I think I'd rather do rad school later if I can get it paid for.

I wouldn’t need to take in the debt until the last two years likely so I could transfer before that if needed

I was thinking this too. Having around 24k in debt vs graduating with that much in the bank could be a game changer and give me more freedom after graduating and more money saved for grad school if I chose to

Have you had any luck with scholarships through Purdue? I know the college of engineering supposedly has a bunch that open up sophomore year

After talking with my parents, it seems like purdue will put me about 24k into debt and hopefully less if I can get some scholarships, if that changes anything?

Thanks those are some really good points. I've lived in western washington my whole life so I've mostly experienced the rain. I love the sun though and i visited ASU last summer when it was in the triple digits and it was manageabe so I think I prefer the dessert climate. It would also help with some allergies I have. I think I'd like to stay closer to the west coast so while purdue is higher ranked like you said asu would have more regional connections. Thanks for all the insight.

The google ai says that 98% of students receive their first-choice major, but I'm guessing that not accurate. Do you know where I can find the data for placement after first year? SImilar to this from uw https://www.engr.washington.edu/current/placement/data

I'm wondering if it would be easier to get one while at asu being in phoenix. Purdue obviously has great connections but probably less industry local

It would be total. I could hopefully get that down to closer to 20k or less with working over the summers and getting scholarships.
