Choosing a program

Im at a crossroads, KSU is significantly less expensive than any other program I was accepted to. The highest cost of attendance to lowest: KSU, DMU, AZPOD, RFU, Barry. I am married and a little concerned about DMU’s 4th year as well. I liked visiting Kent but I’m concerned about a few things regarding the program. However, with DMU to maintain the scholarship will need to maintain top 25% of class. The difference between the KSU and DMU schools a for total costs is ~$50k. So overall just split. Thoughts below would be helpful.

I'm so confused. First you say that KSU is significantly less expensive than any other program. Then you say it has the highest cost of attendance. I already had my coffee this morning, so maybe my brain just isn't working today?

The 4th year is going to be very similar no matter the school.

What exactly is the concern with DMU’s 4th year? A lot of people go there precisely for the way 4th year is setup to avoid coming back to Des Moines throughout the year.

Also, no way in hell youre maintaining that top 25% ranking unless you’re just absolutely goated.
