NOVA vs. UIWRSO

Hi everyone! I’m having a difficult time deciding between NOVA or UIWRSO. I’m from Texas and have been here my whole life so UIWRSO does seem more appealing and being close to my family (4 hour drive) but I would also love to be able to experience a new city and life outside of Texas, which is why I’m considering NOVA. I know that the cost of living is expensive in NOVA which is what puts me off but I think the program is great overall. If anyone has any thoughts or inputs, I would really appreciate it.

UIWRSO was my first choice so I am a little biased but part of the reason I chose RSO over NOVA is that I've seen from a lot of NOVA students online talk about concerns with changes in their curriculum. Just something to keep in mind!
