<p>Okay, here is my dilemma...</p>
<p>Basically, I have to decide what college I want to go to, but there are so many factors involved that I'm driving myself nuts.</p>
<p>Here are the schools I got accepted to and the ones with stars next to them mean I'm considering going there.</p>
<p>University of Hartford ***
University at Albany- SUNY***
Ithaca College***
Purchase College- SUNY???? unsure
City College- CUNY***
Hunter College- CUNY***
Brooklyn College- CUNY...too close to my house</p>
<p>So far only the University of Hartford has given me my FA package and based on that I'd have to pay about $13,000 out of my pocket out of about $37,000. Also it's only two to three hours away from where I live so I don't feel to far from home and I have one friend who has decided to go there and I visited already. The school is cool but the area is a bit dry and my step-dad doesn't want me out of state.</p>
<p>At University at Albany I have no friends that I know going there, but my aunt,uncle, and cousin live near by. It's about 4-5 hours away I think. It's probably about 18,000 per year. My step-dad says there's really nothing much to do up there so I wouldn't get distracted from my school work. I plan to visit April 14th</p>
<p>At Ithaca College I don't know anyone, don't have family there, no nothing, but I really like the school. I plan on visting April 21st and it's 5 hours away.</p>
<p>And my last resort would be to go to either City College or Hunter College. I thought about going to one of these schools for my bachelors and getting my GPA up and then going to the med school of my choice. I know going to college is a money issue even though I'll have a job. So I was thinking keep it cheap for now so that I won't have all that debt going into med school.</p>
<p>I also have to keep in mind that I plan on majoring in Biology, so I have to make sure I go some where that has a good biology program.</p>
<p>PLEASE help...what do you think? THANX</p>
