<p>How much will i need to pay? =\ Rice is my top choice but if i have to pay a lot I will end up going to berkeley since i only have to pay 6k there....</p>
<p>like i dont get what work study is…</p>
<p>Work study is a program where you work (a job at the university for a department such as athletics, administration, coffeehouse, media center, annual fund etc.) and you are paid. This money is intended to be used for tuition and education related expenses.</p>
<p>Also, what is your EFC?</p>
<p>with 53k income you should pay similiar as Berkley. Use online calculator such as in collegeboard.com for your EFC. By the way, Rice should already sent you a FA package. Otherwise you need to cal Rice quickly.</p>
