Please help me decide which school to go to, I only have a few days and this will change the rest of my life!?

I’m in my 4th year of school &planning to work in the public relations/advertising field.

Option 1: I was admitted into a very selective private college and received about $16,000 in financial aid. It would take me 2 years to finish, but I’d be graduating w/ internships and connections in Southern California. I’m already moved in down there but rent is $800/month. Even with the aid I’d be deeply in debt, about $50K BEFORE interest, which itself would at least double the loan amount. I’d have to find a very high-paying job within 6 months of graduating to begin making my $500+ monthly payments.

Option 2: Take this semester off and work in order to apply for Spring semester at my local state college in Northern California. Rent ~ about $325/month. Could graduate in one year with MUCH less debt and have the option of considering grad school if I want, but not be so immediately plugged in to the industry or have nearly the career options I might have had in the SoCal school.

Help!*

well with option one, you will be graduating with connections right? then finding a job within 6 months to pay off those debts, althought difficult, should not be immpossible. after all, u HAVE been accepted into this highly selective private college. i see that u basically hav 2 choices where one is te easy one (no high debts) and the oter is the tougher choice, and whereas u’d like to simply cruise through this option 2, i believe that u should go instead for future success and go for the option 1. it will be alot of debt, but after all, u will be graduating from a very good school that always bumps u ahead in the work order. it will be tougher and maybe not wat u wanted to hear, but i think that it is a good decision for u

Democracy is a superb ingredient. Petition away. this is solid for you And an utter waste of time you haven’t any longer have been given any rights as minors in faculties whilst those coverage’s are utilized. online petitions are even a much bigger waste of aspects than paper ones. training of the final public this is the subject. And in case you could sign up the telephone; what’s the subject? Land lines? Minors are taking their parent’s land lines to college? i might ban them too !

I would option for the southern california idea. Although it does depends on the networks you have.

Have been in the business for over 4 years now, I know first hand that “who you know” and “what they can do for you” is more important than anything else other than money and position.

Are you sure about the interest on the loans? Most student loans that I’m aware of don’t accrue interest while you’re still in school. Interest starts only after you graduate. If this is your case, too, then stay in S.Cal.

Depends on what kind of person you are. Do you like adventure and the unknown or do you like being close to your family?
