Help choosing a college

Congratulations, that’s an incredible package.
Do you have a job? If you can start working part time and saving some of it, plus working in the summer, you may be able to earn $4,000 and you’d only take $2,000 in loans. Or, you could take your full federal loans for $5500 and only have to find $500.
Based on this, I believe that Bates is the best value.
