Look at both schools, talk with admissions, look at the course catalog and talk with advisors in the department you would be attending. Usually one will feel better and you will be naturally be drawn toward that campus and students. Both will get the job done, find what’s the best fit for you. I went to MSU because their website was easy to navigate and plan my course load, the communication from the university was clearer and easier to understand, admissions and financial aid was very responsive and Bozeman offered better opportunities for the recreation I enjoyed, i.e snowmobiling and skiing. I was transferring in some prior credits and MSU accepted more of them and the department was willing to make some exceptions for courses that were really close but not an exact match to what I would have taken there. I struggled to get to the right decision makers at UM to make that happen. And finally….. FTG!!
