Compared to top liberal arts colleges?
What do you mean by worth it? Like comparable/better academically?
Like if there’s difference in the quality of education at northeastern honors vs a top liberal arts college (71,000+ cost of attendance)
honors program would cost me significantly less (around $120,000 total for 4 years.) Top liberal arts would cost $275,000. That’s more than a hundred thousand dollars of difference. Is it not worth it?
You are comparing Wellesley at $240,000 plus…to NEU at $120,000 plus (remember…costs WILL inclrease over your four years).
And you also got accepted to UCI.
What can your family AFFORD. To be honest…both NEU and Wellesley will give you too much loan debt for undergrad school.
Will your parents pay for Wellesley? If not…it’s off the table.
Have you actually gotten in Wellesley? If not, wait and see what their financial aid package will be. Wellesley does not hoard anyone with loan debt. If you’re under a certain income, there will be no loans in the package at all.
Northeastern and LAC’s like Wellesley are totally different environments. If Wellesley is your perfect fit you would not likely be happy at Northeastern and vice versa.
The op posted elsewhere that she is going to Wellesley.
Family did not receive any need based aid.
I hope she clarifies this, because if this is the case…all these other threads are a moot point.
