Go into debt and drag my parents too or waste year waiting for public school acceptances to save $$?

<p>ok…you live in Riverside (do not even consider commuting to USC from there!!)</p>

<p>Ask USC if you can delay enrollment for a year…take the gap year and apply to UCR, UCI, CPP, and a few CSUs.</p>

<p>are your parents self-employed? was your fafsa efc much lower? </p>

<br>

<br>

<p>OK…no debt for you. Any debt is a bad idea with those majors…especially art, which is the school that accepted you.</p>
