<p>Well, actually, I qualify for quite a lot. My estimated package (from dartmouth) is a parental contribution of 1500, student contribution of 3000, and a 2500 work study. But, since I got a full ride at South Carolina ( + the college is giving me ~3000 to do whatever), my parents refuse to help pay.</p>
<p>I was just wondering whether it was worth it to work jobs during the summer and during college AND take out a small loan for an ivy league school.</p>
