<p>I am deciding between Loyola Marymount University, Arizona State University, and University of Arizona. Most of my friends are going to ASU, but a majority of my high school is going to U of A. Part of me wants to stay in state and be with my friends and save money, while part of me wants to just go for it and move to California. I am mostly stressed about being left out from my friends (which is immature, I know) but I can't help but feel like I want to stay in my comfort zone. I have no clue what I want to study and I am having the hardest time deciding where to go. If anyone has any advice/tips/anything on how I can choose my future school, please help!</p>
<p>Take the risk!</p>
<p>You will make new friends! I will be traveling thousands of miles to go to college. Take the leap (granted you can afford to), and go to Loyola. </p>
<p>How much does each cost and what’s your parents’ budget?
How much in loans would you have to take on at each?</p>
<p>I got some grants from Loyola so tuition would only be just over $35,000, ASU would be around 17,000 and U of A would be around 16,000 (these are including room/board, tuition, and other expenses). My parents have told me that they would be able to afford LMU’s cost and that I wouldn’t have to take out any loans for any of the school’s unless I wanted to. </p>
<p>I think U of A is your best bet. It is the best of the three. LMU is near the beach if you want that but U of A is bigger and would offer more majors.</p>
<p>In that case, go to LMU if that’s the school you like best. 
Don’t forget to deposit today at the school of your choice!</p>
<p>@hr81096 - I personally know 3 kids at LMU, all of whom went there knowing absolutely no one and they all absolutely love it. Two juniors, one senior. Good luck! </p>
