Comparing Schools

I have decided to compare UW-Eau Claire and UWGB for college schooling. The Student population for these schools are 10,460 for Eau Claire and 6,779 for UWGB. The entrance difficulty for Eau Claire and Green Bay is Moderately Difficult and the Mean ACT Score is 23 for UWGB and for Eau Claire is 24. The student expenses for Green Bay is $6,298 and in Eau Claire is $7,361 for in state. For out of state its $13,871 for GB and for EC is $14,934. Both offer classes for music. From Peshtigo WI, for driving, Green Bay is 49 minutes and for Eau Claire it is 3 hours and 48 minutes. I would like to attend UWGB because it is my hometowns university, but i heard from friends and did a little research and Eau Claire is the best music school in WI. I am also determined to go big but if not, i will (literally) go to my home university
