First generation: Berkeley or UCLA or Barnard

<p>I made a post before but have realized it was very messy here is the new and improved post!</p>

<p>Also, my family income is below poverty level if that helps. I am just so confused right now. It would great to receive some guidance from anyone who current attends Berkeley, UCLA, or Barnard. I live in California btw. As a dancer and musician, I definitely want to go to New York or LA but..</p>

<p>I plan to major in either business or economics and either dance or music. My goal is to build a performing arts studio for low-income children because I myself was in their position. Or maybe I would fall in love with math and take a completely different route. Who knows? haha</p>

<p>Here is my dilemma</p>

<p>Barnard : NY, wont be able to visit (worried about my non-English speaking parents), great ballet program, 8k per year</p>

<p>UCLA: L.A, I never considered this school because it wasn't "prestigious," not so great ballet/dance program (might have to pay for outside training), full ride in scholarships and grants</p>

<p>Berkeley: 1 hour away from home, "prestigious" school, not so great ballet/dance program (might have to pay for outside training), 9.5k per year (worst deal)</p>

<p>ALSO! I have applied to quite a bit of scholarships. I am thinking I will relieve at least 5-8k or at least I hope I do</p>

<p>AGAIN? Go back to your other thread where people have taken the time to answer you and have a conversation and others can see what was said already as part of the dialogue. Netiquette. It is quite trying to help you when you don’t address questions asked by well meaning people.</p>
