So a few weeks ago, I was offered 17,500 dollars to go to Le Moyne college for academics, as well as a softball scholarship. This would take a 32,500 tuition down to about 15,000 dollars a year. I'm also eligible for a Strafford loan, so that would tack on an additional 3,500.
Not to diss the college or anything, I just didn't like it. It was too small for me, and I got a religious feel for it, which isn't for me.
My dream college is Ithaca, which costs 37,500 dollars a year. Since they're Division III, they can't offer any athletic money and since I picked a very tough major, I'm not going to get a lot of money from that school. I've decided that I would like to take out Student Loans to help me pay for college.
However, my father wholeheartedly disagrees with me, and in "his heart, he can't understand why I would put myself through the loan process and walk away from so much money."
I'm not sure what I should do. Escape the financial crisis that haunts my future, or be unhappy with a college paying for my tuition?
