hi guys,i'm thinking of furthering my studies in the states.

i visited some of the local representatives in an education fair last week.They told me i MAY be eligible for a transfer since i got a diploma and some certs.

They recommended me tons of uni,but i kinda narrow it down to Oregon State University or Arkansas state university

Arkansas is cheap but its seems really rural.

Oregon is close to urban centers and its situated in one of my preferable states in the US,but that state has one of the highest unemployment rates in the US,thus hunting for off campus work is harder?

which one do you think is better?

what about the cost of colleges in the mid west? is it expensive compared to the rest?
