It really just depends on how you feel about FOMO and can you handle not being a stereotypical college kid for awhile. Long term wise going to OTC for 2 years free is definitely going to be beneficial in the long run. Especially if financially you aren't just throwing around money freely. Some of the same professors that teach at MSU teach at OTC, so the quality of classes are practically the same. Plus the classes are smaller and you can get more one on one attention at OTC. Some of the pros of MSU is that you might get better connections early on in your college career, but that being said OTC has really expanded these past couple of years. Plus since MSU is your general dorm college you'll get more of a "actual" college experience than you would at OTC. MSU for sure gives you everything a college can give you right off the bat, but OTC can give you the same but it just takes longer.
