Yes that was my intention.
I can goto any public school with a full ride considering they gave instate tuition benefits to veterans. The other deciding factor is if they will allow me to transfer in as a junior. Which is why I was looking at UND and UMN Crookston in the first place. I know for a fact I can enroll into UMN with a full ride + housing allowance as a junior and take no longer than 2 academic years to graduate. While the other schools being mentioned might be better for night-life and in bigger cities they do not offer the same benefits.
