<p>I agree. I guess I’m just saying that saying “I can’t afford an elite college” AFTER you’ve been accepted is the reality for some people, especially people with siblings much younger than them.</p>
<p>Taking out 100k in loans can be smart. Or it can screw you, like it did to my cousin, who lost his first job after the economy crashed and now has no way to pay them off (his siblings are still in college). Either way, I honestly thnk that you can get a great education at a place where you’re happy.</p>
