Hey I was hoping someone on here could help me make the right decision. I got into my dream school, NYU, but that gave me very little aid so it is out of the question now my second choice is Fordham LC and they gave me about $38k in aid which is pretty good but we’d still have to pay about $14k which is over budget/ above our efc of about $8k. Everyone says I should go to Fordham because it’s good and I worked really hard in high school to go to a top school but I would go into debt and that’s not something I want to do ( more than $20k in undergrad debt worth it?). My other choice would be CUNY Baruch which is in our “price range” but it doenst have the same prestige as the other schools i got into. Will all my hard work go to waste? Did I work hard for nothing? I really would like to go to Fordham but I am not sure if it will be a good idea to take out so many loans especially when I want to go to grad school (law or business) which will mean more debt. I’m really stressed about this decision and I don’t know what the right choice is. I want to stay in New York City, as well. I want to go to a good school but money is such an issue. Please help me!!!
