advice?

<p>Basically, i'm really really confused. I've been accepted to dartmouth, stanford, and brown. I'm a california student and will not get any financial aid. i'm rich enough to not be poor but poor enough to not be rich. so dartmouth and brown are off my list due to the additional travel expenses. is that a good idea? however, i'm still considering stanford, berkeley, usc, and ucla. i have a half tuition scholarship and town and gown to usc so i'd be paying about 27,000 (which is about as much as my parents can afford to pay). i want to take out loans for stanford but i don't know if its worth it. so now, what's the best choice between those four schools?</p>
