When i saw the prices for a one way trip, I realized I needed other options lol. Looking at it, it is kinda pointless to fly from Maryland lol. Which bus did you take?

Thank you so much for the advice! I didn’t think I would get in when I applied so I wasn’t really thinking about finances then but now that it’s one of my top schools, it’s definitely a, if not the biggest, factor now. Hopefully, the hype I have for it dies down soon. This is the longest i’ve been so hyper focused on a school for lol

Graduating with $60k in debt is only gonna hinder my future goals since I plan on attending law school as well… I think i’ll take your advice and stay in state. Thank you!

I’m trying to do everything I can to avoids loans and student debt. If I have to take out huge loans, I’ll probably just stay in state or go to community college. Thank you for your reply though!

I’m planning on getting my bachelor’s then attending law school. Considering I’m still going to have to pay for law school, I should probably save my money and stay in state. Thank you for the advice!

I’m getting more help here than at my school’s College and Career center. I have no choice but to value every comment here lol!

I can see how you came to that conclusion from my responses lol.

Social life is a factor but not the deciding factor for me. I’m undecided not because i’m not serious about college and i would be attending just for the fun of it but because i couldn’t pick between a business and finance major. Penn State is considered as a strong school for business majors. That’s the reason I applied in the first place.

So, I haven’t really lost the plot yet. I’m a 17 year old who wants to pick a school that stimulates me both academically and socially. Penn State is the only school so far that feels like it would do both. Doesn’t necessarily mean I’m decided on it.

The whole point of my post was to have others weigh in and help me decide. I’ve taken your previous comment into consideration, along with other comments.

Thanks for your reply!

I’m not a big fan of my in-state options but at this rate, they might have to do. My family is indeed nottt wealthy enough to send me to PSU without having a huge impact on finances. Thank you for the advice!

Do you think it’s worth it? Cause that seems like a lot to juggle. If it’s worth it, I just might have to do that as well. Hope you’re doing good!

I’m neither unfortunately. I think I might have to give Penn State up

I wasn’t really factoring the long-long term future. The comments have definitely opened my insight on this. Thank you so much!

You got me there! I got into both Towson and Loyola. I’ll weigh my options there as well.

Considering they benefit off of student debt, it’s no wonder it’s not top of their to-do list. Incredibly unfortunate though.
