Hi all,

i'm pulling my hair out trying to make a decision here. I've been admitted to University of San Diego and University of Denver. USD is ranked #54, DU is #91. I have money at both but somewhat more at DU, which is also cheaper in terms of tuition. Employment outcomes look relatively similar once you factor in how USD inflates their employment numbers by putting people in university-funded positions.

What do you all think? Denver is a heck of a lot cheaper to live in, and I dont care about biglaw. I'm trying to figure out what that rankings gap is worth, financially. Either place seems like it would be great to live long term, though I do kind of hate the idea of being stuck in a place forever
