<p>Which is better for me.
I want to study business or maybe law.
So uf will cost about $8,000-10,000 per year.
And emory will cost about $40,000 per year.
Im not sure if my parents want to pay for emory (cause they don't think it's good enough) and so ill probably have to get loans or something.
What do you think is more practical?
Is the education worth it or do you think i can do good anywher?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance! =)</p>

<p>You can’t get loans for $40k each year. Big loans require parent co-signers, which I doubt your parents would co-sign. Besides, that would be $160k total. Your adult life would be awful!!!</p>
<p>You can only get small student loans. Go to UF.</p>
<p>BTW…Emory costs more than $40k per year…it costs about $52k per year.</p>
<p>i will be getting some financial aid…so it should end up being 40,000…probably
and my parents are willing to pay only the amt that UF would cost for another school…</p>
<p>so what CAN i do?
do i not get to go to EMory because of financial issues?
is there no other way?</p>
<p>Yes…financial issues are a HUGE reason for not going to Emory. Do you really think you can get a job after graduating that will pay for $160K in college loans? If you want law school, more loans to pay for it. Go to UF, debt free or nearly debt free upon graduation and you are able to go to Law school or and grad program and not worry so of the costs.</p>
<p>If your parents are only going to pay for the Florida equivalent, then that isn’t much at all (especially if you would have gotten the Bright Futures money that would have reduced the cost to UF. Do you qualify for Bright Futures? If so, how much???)</p>
<p>So, your portion would likely be about $20k per year ($80k total). You can’t borrow that much. Your parents aren’t likely going to co-sign because they know that that a young grad couldn’t afford the payments.</p>
<p>im in IB so i think i pay 75% or something like that.
i think BrightFutures will pay for college tuitionand i pay for room and board and transportation/insurance</p>
<p>ye…$20,000…my parents might, im not sure.</p>
<p>so is Emory worth paying so much for? or is UF a better offer?</p>
<p>UF is more practical especially if you need to pay for law school. Have you visited either?Atlanta>>>Gainsville, if money were no object imho Emory, hands down but UF isn’t a bad school and that’s a ridiculous amount of debt.</p>
<p>Did you apply for Bright Futures? You can’t get it if you don’t apply. Also, Bright Futures is no longer 100%/75% it x many dollars per credit hour, they’ve gotten rid of the stipend for books and such, and tuition is going up, it’s been kept artificially low by the legislature but that’s changing, with prepaid you should be fine. UF is huge, it feels huge. Classes are huge, although if you qualify for honors (requires a 4.0 and 1400 SAT) you can get a couple that are capped at 20.You sound less then enthusiastic about UF, is it just cause you want Emory more? Why UF? Pet peeve but there are 10 other state schools in Florida believe it or not, it’s not the best for every major or every individual. (and if you didn’t bother to apply, yes some are still taking applications).</p>
<p>Go to UF (or another Florida school). Emory is too much debt for an undergrad. If your parents understand money, then they’ll know better than to co-sign $80k in loans for you. </p>
<p>And…just because they’ll qualify for the first $20k co-signed loan, doesn’t mean that they will qualify for the other $60k over the following 3 years. Many parents end up not qualifying in later years and the kids don’t end up getting their degrees from their chosen school…but the family still has the big debt.</p>
<p>Definatly attend University of Florida.</p>
<p>Why don’t you try UF and see if you can transfer or get a higher degree at emory later?</p>
