Help me decide: School X vs School Y - April 18th to April 24th

Drexel vs Binghamton rather than being from a education criteria this is more situational

drexel (undecided major) pros - great coop program - very close to a lot of family relatives from my dads side so I can get to know them / get help if needed - most of my family wants me to go there bc they worry for me a lot (rightfully so) - in the city, I don’t enjoy suburbs

cons - costs more (but my dad can afford it) - excessive math requirements for certain majors i was thinking about like CS - no one I know is going and i’m very shy (mild social anxiety), previously whenever I went to a new school with no one I knew i always had a very hard time adjusting

Binghamton (undecided major leaning CS) pros - cheaper - I have a couple of friends going so I’ll struggle less making friends

cons - not my parents pick for me - far from my dads side of the family

My family situation is a bit strange at the moment where my dads side of the family is trying to reconnect with me bc they weren’t really there in my life and my relationship with my mom is a bit toxic so they want me to be further away to build space between us. I have a history of social anxiety and depression so they’re just very concerned for me but I don’t know if i want to be in a situation where I don’t have any proper friends for a year or so again.
