Emory and big debt or Davidson

Colleges and Universities A-Z Emory University

<p>Well, just like many other students i have to pick the college i will be spending the next four years of my life in two weeks.
Sadly, my options have been cut short when i found out Emory is giving me six hundred dollars as a grant, in any other occasion i would be thrilled to receive 600 dollars but reality is this school costs 45 thousand dollars... and my parents said they will only pay for 15 thousand.. </p>

<p>Another option is Davidson that costs about 36 thousand, if i am not mistaken, and they offered me a 17,500 scholarship and my parents will still pay 15 thousand leaving me a considerable smaller loan to pay off...</p>

<p>What do i do?? I like Emory a lot, besides i want to study math related subjects, so i am a little hesitant that Davidson might fall behind... is it worth making a 120 thousand dollar debt to go to Emory????? HELP</p>

<p>Emory is a great place, but you have to take the money. Davidson is a great liberal arts education! </p>

<p>However, there is still a gap (36-17.5-15= 3.5 thousand). If Emory is very important to you I would suggest appealing your offer.</p>
