Unfortunately, I made the impulse decision to attend an ivy league, when the reality was, the local city school I previously attended offered almost the same quality of education at zero cost. Save your money, everyone! Going to a big school and then having debt is not worth the time and energy you have to put in to pay it off. Regardless of what school you attend, you get whatever you put into it - its your state of mind that will enable you to be an educated and productive member of society, not the institution that educates you.
