<p>As of now, I have been accepted at 4 very differnt universities, and I really need some help deciding, based on both aid and what CCers think these schools have to offer to me. I plan on majoring in something along the lines of geography/philosophy/history:</p>

<p>*along with eac hschool, I listed the estimated costs and the merit aid I have already recieved</p>

<p>Virginia Commonwealth University (in-state)
cost ~ $20,000 aid ~ none yet</p>

<p>Aquinas College
cost ~ $26,000 aid ~ $10,000 (with full possibly on the way)</p>

<p>St. John's University
cost ~ $40,000 aid ~ $17,000</p>

<p>University of South Dakota
cost ~ $12,000 aid ~ $6,500</p>

<p>Saint Johns seems like the best deal (almost 50% off for a reputable private school), and the location is probably the most exciting. </p>

<p>Otherwise I'd do VCU (in-state tuition should only be $6,000?). Richmond is a great historical city.</p>
