Cleveland St vs Akron Forum

[ohiohawk58]

I know i will probably be bashed because both are T3 schools, however, I want to work in NE Ohio (preferably cleveland because im from youngstown) so I figure it does not apply as much as both schools have solid ties to the region. Cleveland st gave me a 5,000 scholly with a 3.1 stip and I would be able to live with my sister and not pay any rent. Akron gave me 17,000 a year with a 3.3 stip and 8,500 if im below 3.3 but above 2.8. Any thoughts would be appreciated

EDIT: with room and board at akron, assuming i keep the 17k total money spent will be pretty much equal

CSU has better connections and a better reputation in Cleveland. Unless you are interested in IP, I would go with CSU.
