<p>eadad, thanks for the reply. Well, my parents are pretty adament about paying only $12k a year anyway.. like even if I had gotten into Harvard, they would have only given me that. They probably would have been willing to co-sign a bigger loan, though. </p>
<p>I guess I am a little ambivolant about my college, partly because UNC wasn't my first choice (Princeton was, although it was a massive long-shot which didn't work out), but I still like UNC a lot nevertheless -- as opposed to Binghamton, which didn't impress me very much when I saw it. Of the schools that I got into (UNC, Bing, William and Mary and BC Honors) UNC is my top choice, and the fact that it's cheap compared to, say, BC, only makes it even better. However, it's just that if given the chance (in terms of admission and having the money) to go to one of a small group of other schools, I'd likely go to one of those instead. It's not that I don't like UNC, or wouldn't be extremely happy to go there, though.</p>
<p>The idea of doing some work in the area sounds interesting, assuming it wouldn't take away too much of my time. Maybe I'll look into that. Of course, I only have about 2 hours to make a decision. Sweet Jesus...</p>
