(ccording to the Matri*$ Purdue is the college for me, )elieve agree 8ith that$ at least partly, 'hile
reading some forums$ really liked the 8ay 'est !afayette"Purdue& 8as descri)ed$ and along 8ith its lo8
cost of living$ seemed like a place Ed like to live, ;)viously$ forums are not very trust8orthy sources$ and
the cost of living could go up in the years go to college$ so that is a little shifty, Ho8ever$ Purdue had the
lo8est tuition cost out:of:state, Unlike MT$ Purdue has a Biomedical Engineering degree$ 8hich 8as nice,
also like John Hopkins$ )ut that 8ould )e more if pursued a masters$ and 8ould pro)a)ly )e more helpful
in a different field, think John Hopkins 8as lacking most in the price category, really liked the medium
siFe of MT$ so the large siFe of Purdue could )e a pro)lem, Ho8ever$ for an undergrad degree$ Purdue
University is the correct choice,
