<p>Okay, I understand that in virtually every category g-town has an edge over PSU, so my question essentially boils down to finances. I got a $9,000 merit scholarship from Penn State and ZERO need-based aid from either school. So I can attend PSU and accrue minimal debt, or go to Georgetown and likely graduate with $50,000 of debt. Does anyone have any advice because I would truly appreciate it!</p>

<p>Oh, and I'm going to be studying Political Science/Government, which complicates things, seeing as Washington is such a great place for that!</p>

<p>are you in-state for Penn State?</p>

<p>I'm in-state, only about an hour away from state college.</p>

<p>Ohh, that's really hard to say. 50,000 is a lot of money to be in the hole as soon as you graduate...and Penn State really is a great school for the money if you're in state. That's a toughy, but I guess just know that Penn State is well-respected pretty much anywhere you go, so it's not like you'd be doing yourself a major disservice. I'd totally understand if you went for the cheaper.</p>
