Having trouble balancing finances with caliber of acaemics!

<p>Any other opinions with reasoning? Also, do any of these schools offer anything particularly special (labs, programs, etc) for one interested in robotics?</p>

<p>I really hate that the poor choices of other people (my mother) can have such an impact on my life’s potential, especially regarding private loans…It’s rather stupid for the system to continue to hold my mother responsible for my education after I am 18 when she clearly can’t help; yet, they still have limits on the loans I can take out on my own and only give additional loans (Parent Plus or Private) with cosign, etc. It almost seems like all my hard work up 'til now has really been for nothing (all those hours studying for AP classes wasted…ugh).</p>
