College...
So its that time of year when our seniors are getting acceptence and rejection letters about their hopes and dreams. So if your luckey enough to get into the college you were really hoping for then GREAT for you but what should you do if you didn't get into your first choice? What if you did get into your first choice but your first choice is a $40,000 a year school. Is it really worth it to pay that much when you can go to a state school and only pay $6,000 a year? Well I did get accepted to the University of New England but it is a $40,000 a year school...so what do I do now? I only applied to 2 schools, one private school and one state school. So now what do I do? I visited UNE and fell in love with the whole place, but my parents hate the price tag. I swear this whole college process is starting to remind me of that TV show lost...everytime it goes to a commerical I have 42 new question and I didn't get any answers!!!

What a dilemma! I want to say to follow your heart. But as a parent, I don't want anyone to feel the pressure of paying off student loans for 30 years. But you want to be studying in a place where you are motivated. Are you sure of your major? If you are self-directed and focused, you should follow your heart. If not, you might want to start at a state school and go for your master's at the more expensive school. Get the basics at a less expensive price and then save for the master's splurge. Good Luck. I know that you will make the most with whatever you decide.
