Debt Free vs. Better Opportunities

<p>International Business and Finance!
Yes they do have enough designated…you’re correct, she will probably have another job then (although the jobs she has been applying to are not at the level she was)
The loan would be approximately 25K in federal loans. I would work to make it less and less. I am hesitant because I never really explored the option nor did my parents ever plan on that being an option (I know I am very fortunate) and just now it’s starting to scare me.</p>

<p>Debt free would be my choice! If your mom alone made 125k anually, not considering the amount of money your dad makes, where did all that money go? Tell that ■■■■■ to buy a Honda Civic and trade in the Range Rover!</p>

<p>No range rovers in our house, don’t worry. Unfortunately, I was a very sick child and still have a lot of medical issues (we’re talking that I was once on an ad for our hospital as a baby), as does my sister. She is also in a costly private school because of learning disabilities…we live in an expensive part of the US etc. Wish it was easier than that!</p>

<p>Now that you have mentioned the schools. Plan A is not that bad as you portrayed, in fact, it is a great place to be. Rollings is a great college and very well respected @ the international scene.
Either way, it will ultimately be your choice.
Best of luck to you.</p>

<p>I am not familiar enough with Rollins. But GW location seems very good for international connections and internships. It also is in the most favorable position here, if this is meaningful:

<p>One thing that is important, you said some schools already put loans in your package. So that lessens the amount you personally can take each year to save funds for the last year. You have to treat loans as a cost since they have to be paid back. You are not really clear about the loans. How much total debt will you have personally? How much your parents? Just 25? Nothing to sneeze at but not a disaster. You will pay about 250.00 a month for 10 years I think.</p>
