<p>Dear all,</p>

<p>I was admitted to the 3 colleges named in subject line. Which one should I choose?</p>

<ol>
<li>USC: I received scholarships totaling $23,000, what I have to pay=$35K</li>
<li>Emory: I received grants and scholarships totaling $29,000, what I have to pay=$27K</li>
<li>Ohio state university: received scholarships of $15K, what I have to pay=$9K (I am Ohio resident).</li>
</ol>

<p>I also got in to Duke, but I got no scholarships, I have to pay everything.</p>

<p>I intent to do business major. Emory's business school is supposedly better than USC's and OSU's, but I prefer the latter schools' school spirit (and sports teams) to Emory's (lack of) school spirit. But I also kind of want to get out of Ohio and explore a new city (Atlanta or LA?) and have a warmer climate too. </p>

<p>Do you think it's worth it to spend more money and go to a school that's more prestigious or just take advantage of the scholarships I got at OSU? </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I think it helps to see those numbers times 4 years (or even 5 as the case seems to be lately)</p>

<p>USC - $140k
Emory - $108k
OSU - $36k</p>

<p>OSU is good. Save your money for grad school.</p>

<p>If you want to stay in Ohio, go for the state U. If you want to go explore, go to Emory</p>

<p>Can your parents pay for USC or Emory without loading you with a bunch of loans? If so then go to Emory. If not the go to OSU. You can move out of state after you graduate.</p>
