So, as we all know, BU is expensive. I’m lucky in that we got a fairly significant amount of aid that would put our out of pocket expenses pretty close to my other option, Florida State University. The difference is the loans though. I would graduate with $30,000+ in debt, and I’m unsure if the degree is worth that much more in comparison to FSU, where I would graduate with minimal debt. I love Boston, but I don’t want to put my financial future in jeopardy just to spend my college years there. My family’s income fluctuates from year to year because we’re small business owners. Not anywhere near wealthy though.
I am tentatively planning on majoring in finance, so is a degree from BU going to be worth that much in debt when I’m in the job market?
Don’t borrow more than you expect to earn in your first year out of college.
@CaliCash I know, but what I’m asking if a degree from BU is really going to make a difference in what kind of job I get and the salary I make right out of college in comparison to FSU. Will the BU pedigree be worth more in the market?
