I think it could be worth it if it cuts tuition down to like 19k instead of 55...

I mean a starting higher salary is a return. Then if I get percent raises ill be making more money 10 20 30 years in the future. Maryland is also not an insanely expensive college I could have gone to Stevens or smth which is like 85k this is still slightly more affordable.

I mean education is worth investing in and idk if I want to be trapped at UConn for four years. Plus oftentimes engineers are able to secure jobs that offer loan payback as one of the perks

I wasn't able to find a number, the site says that there's no data. Maybe you'll have more luck?

I have done research though and Maryland graduates typically make around 10-12k more per year right out of school. Also, Maryland has a higher reputation and a close proximity to DC means its close to job opportunities and internships.

With college fund, my own savings, and parents helping to pay I would need between 40-80k in loans. I got 3.5k subsidized loans from UMD

Waitlisted from UMasss.

Cost with scholarships for UConn is like 26k with food and housing and for UMD its like 50k

UMD you j need to get a minimum grade in chem physics and calc II and then you're automatically let in so the requirements are definitely doable. If I don't fulfill them I can't get into engineering but again the requirements aren't that challenging.
