[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which would you choose and why??[/quote]
Never pay private school tuition to a public unless you have no other good options.
Georgetown is a great option. 
Case closed.[/quote]
I never understand this logic. Just because the state heavily subsidizes to make tuition low for their residents doesn’t mean the quality of education in a state school is not worth the price compared to a private school![/quote]
Have fun studying in a factory! If you do not know the difference, you are only outing yourself as someone who is unfamiliar with one or the other. But people actually familiar with both know there is a huge difference.[/quote]
I had firsthand experience with one of HYP, Cal (granted, not UMich), and another top 20 elite (ranked higher than GT), as an undergrad, grad and faculty, not in that order. If your kid is really good, then she would get so much out of a place like Cal (the faculty and Ph.D. students there are tippy top in the world), including personal mentoring from faculty. If your kid needs more hand-holding, then a top 20 (not HYPSM) elite private would work better!

Here I’ve left HYPSM out, but am comparing one similar to UMich to another similar to GT, even though the schools I had personal experience with were ranked higher than the two in question.[/quote]

oh, I thought this comment was going in a different direction. Cal right now is such a mess - classes are oversubscribed even in lecture halls so kids just want online at their leisure. The only personal interaction is with international TAs who are not mentoring anyone. And the housing shortage are pushing kids very very far off campus and there's no parking so kids have to take city buses to campus.

but I dont' think Michigan is like that.

I'd say Georgetown for business or IR, MI for STEM.  The day to day life at Georgetown will add 10k a year, but kids can work. Internships now pay pretty well[/quote]
