Paying for College
1

<hr>

<p>Ok i'm sort of in a dilemma.</p>

<p>I want to look at some colleges this summer.</p>

<p>Some of my dream schools would be American University, Syracuse University, and Ithaca University.</p>

<p>Most of those schools are pretty expensive.</p>

<p>I live In PA and my parents cant afford to help me out at all, (theres 6 kids in my family and only my dad works.)</p>

<p>They keep telling me to stay instate and go to PSU, or Pitt.</p>

<p>I want to major in Business and minor or double major in Communicatons or Theatre.</p>

<p>Since I'm on my own would it be wise to stay instate because of the costs, or go to my dream schools out of state, with a ton of debt.</p>

<p>I would appreciate some advice, Thanks!</p>

<p>Read the various threads related to financial aid and merit scholarships that are pinned to the top of this board and the Parents Forum, and also read the information about financial aid that one can link to from CC's home page.</p>

<p>With the information that you get from those threads, you'll have a far better idea of what your options are, and then can return here and ask any follow-up questions.</p>
