Hello everyone! I’m currently comparing MHC and my state school…

MHC is 15k more than my state school and my family will have to squeeze out money and take out some loans. My mom says that it would take 10 years to pay everything back… is that normal/logical?

Even though MHC gave me a pretty good scholarship of 15k (no loans) it is still a bit of a stretch. I already appealed, but the scholarship is all I’m getting.

I made a pros/cons list for both schools; both schools provide a good education but I liked MHC a lot more and I think that I would have a better college experience there. Is it worth the money?

Most of my friends are going to that state school because it is cheaper than their other choices (they didn’t get scholarships though). I know that I shouldn’t let other people’s decisions influence mine, but I couldn’t help but backtrack and wonder if I should’ve gone with the state school. What do you guys think?

The decision has been made so it it time to stop looking back and start looking ahead. MHC is a great school. Make the most of your opportunities there.

You made the right choice. It will be so worth it to you over a lifetime.
