Need help picking a school

[mcorwin3]

the schools im looking at are mostly in big 12: I notice both the cost per credit and the cost of living are super cheap when compared to my hometown of Pinckney Michigan.... and i do not wish to go to Eastern Michigan for a 2nd planning degree 1) because that is where i got my undergraduate planning degree, and 2) the masters degree is not Accredited by the PAB

Here are the schools i have considered looking at:

Auburn University
Clemson University
Iowa State University
Kansas State University
Texas A&M University
University of Iowa
University of Kansas
University of Nebraska - Lincoln
University of Texas

My electives to finish my degree right now are aimed at University of Oklahoma, but i am also in good shape for University of Kansas.... im the type that doesn't take the Planetizen rankings very seriously, and understand that Oklahoma and Kansas both have good programs... i also understand i can get a good education anywhere.....

It looks like you have a set geographical location, a large number of choices and a good sense of the importance of tuition cost. All very good things.

However you need to mention your interests. All schools have the same basic core course, but once you get into areas of specialization you start to notice different approaches and different levels of faculty involvement.

Agree with JeromeRaymond.

Another question/concern to ask is about their internship/workstudy placement opportunities/record.

well, im not a big city guy either... like i don't mind working in the city, but living in the city is a whole different story.....

I am very interested in Cincinatti, Ohio State, Minnesota, Wisconsin.. but once again the price, and the fact that im not much of a "BIG CITY" type of guy makes me wonder if that would be my type of school
