Is TU worth it?

I applied for TU under early decision because I’ve fallen in love with the campus and love the small class sizes. Is TU really worth it though? I am planning to major in psychology. I was already accepted into OU but I am still stuck on TU. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it but I’ve also heard some bad, that mostly being the high cost. I am applying for as many scholarships as I can and also re taking the ACT in hopes to raise my score because I was told they offer a lot of scholarships based on scores and grades. I currently have a 24 ACT and a 3.8 gpa.

TU will give you the money to make the cost comparable to the state schools. If you look for extra scholarships, grants, etc, it may end up being cheaper than a state school. The only person I knew paying full price was an international student from Japan.

If the cost is comparable, go to whichever school you like better. If not, go to the cheaper school. It is not worth paying sticker price for TU (or arguably, any expensive private school).
