Hi I need some advice, I consulted all the people in real life I can think of so I'm turing to the internet! ;)
I am almost 25 and have a pretty big back log of student loans, that is to say more than most people will carry out of Undergrad.
I finally settled on the major of Computer Engineering and I am currently attending UMass-Lowell, a school which has second tier status in UMass system. I should finish my degree in two years (May 2012) or shortly afterward.
However, I also went to UMass Amherst- the flagship campus- for a few semesters, a couple years back and I could go back there to complete my engineering degree.
Is it worth it to go to Amherst over Lowell? I live much closer to Lowell and would have to move to go to Amherst, but in the long run will the program be so much better and give me that much better opportunities as to justify making the switch?
