I yearn to go to BU, it’s been my dream school for quite some time, and I still dont know yet if Im going. Thankfully, I got accepted, which opened the door for me and Im certainly proud of such an achievement; however, in regards to the price, I truly think dont know if its worth it, and it will breaking my heart to say no to BU (while I havent yet officially decided). I’d be paying 250k in student loans after college, and making little money through college and certainly not having a high-paying job out of college, will certainly put me behind the financial 8-ball. I’m not going to be able to do so many of the things that I love because of my crippling debt. Im so torn. I still dont know what to do, because the student life of BU is unbelievably rich and full of bright young minds, yet Im not paying for the student life and how I fit, Im ultimately paying for my education, and a BU education is not THAT different from other schools. But the overall impression I get is that this is where I am supposed to be. So idk.
…No? That is an INSANE amount of money.
That would be a no.
No. No way. That’s an amount of debt that very few people could pay off in their lifetimes.
Judging by the debt amount you have, I am assuming that you didn’t receive any financial aid?
Nope.
where else were you accepted? What would your loans be from those schools? No school is work 250K in debt. You will never get on top of those loans. My son was accepted also, with no scholarship no financial aid, which is tough to swallow.
Uh, no
And where are u going to get this unsecured 250k loan?
That 250,000 will be a lot more by the time you pay all the interest. It will lead to a lifetime of financial struggle.
Did you apply for FA at BU? Did you submit the FAFSA/CSS? If you did and did not receive any aid then your parents must be able to contribute something.
That level of debt, even if your parents could gert it, is ridiculous. forget BU and go somewhere else.
Not worth it!!!
250k! If that is truly how much debt you will have, don’t just walk away, run.
Run away is right! I question the value of BU even without debt.
