<p>I got into George Washington University, Northeastern University (10,000 off tuition/year) , Bentley University (30,000 off tuition/year), Santa Clara (8,000 off tuition/yr), and Denver University (14,000 off tuition/year). GW is my favorite from when I visited, but I am an international business/accounting (maybe pre-law) student. GW has the top ranked program for what I want to do but I've heard that bentley has great job placement, but I'm from the NW and theres no name recognition for it out here. I also into a special sort of honors program at GW...any ideas on what I should pick?</p>
<p>What is the COST of each ?</p>
<p>Bentley: $25,000/yr
Denver: $36,000/yr
Northeastern: $45,000/yr
George Washington: $54,000/yr
Santa Clara: $32,000/yr</p>
<p>If money is not a concern for you and your parents, go to your favorite GW. Will your parents give you this option? If they don’t have the assets or willingness to pay the additional $80K+ over your least expensive option, then you need to choose an option that is a financially viable one. You need to sit down with your parents and see if they are prepared to let you choose the school you find to be your favorite with good name recognition and tops in your anticipated field of study. It is meaningless for people to write here that school X is not worth more than school Y. If you want to go to school X and your parents are comfortable sending you there, then count your blessings and go.</p>
<p>It depends on what your parents are willing and able to pay. In our family, Gw and NE would be off the table. If you don’t have the money and it will put your parents in financial trouble to pay for your colleges, your options are limited by that situation. None of these colleges may even be viable choices. You, unless you have a stash of money money, a lot of money, are highly unlikely to pay these costs. You are limited to $5500in loans on your own name if that has not already been folded into the packages. </p>
<p>What do your parents have to say?</p>
