<p>Do you think it's worth it to take loans of $30,000 + in order to attend the school of my choice (private liberal arts). Going to a state school would leave me without debt but... What are everyone's opinions?</p>
<p>Unless there are some mitigating circumstances (such as the private liberal arts school has far superior programs in your area of interest), no, I don't think it's worth it. I think it's a bad idea to get oneself into that sort of debt so early in life, and, it can seriously limit your options later. </p>
<p>I don't know your state but from what I can see here, most state schools seem to be very good in a lot of areas of study...</p>
<p>$30K over all four years is not too bad. $30K a year, if that is what you are talking about, is out of the question.</p>
<p>$30,000 per year would be $120,000 (and that's without interest) for four years of college. In my opinion, that is way to much debt to incur for college.</p>
<p>no i was talking about $30,000 over 4 years, 120 yea right...SUNY without a thought lol</p>
<p>For liberal arts? HELL NO!!!!!</p>
