My S got accepted in Northeaster (20k/year dean’s scholarship), Bentley honors (1/2 tuition) and UCONN honors(1/2 tution). We are instate for UCONN so even with merit scholarship Northeastern and Bentley will cost about 20k/yr more. Is it worth it?
Is it worth an extra $20K of YOUR money or loans of your sons? Do you have the extra 20K? Does he like UCONN?
Our Son has that dilemma as well, though we are out of state for UConn… going for nursing and has to decide between schools that are further, like Penn State, Ohio State, Miami, Towson or UConn which is under 3 hours… he wants D1 football and lax. Or, Northeastern who’s package I don’t think we even received yet and the nicest deal, Case Western but that doesn’t have the rah rah sports and is very diverse.
@suzyQ7 - Who can have extra $20k but if the name helps him get good job then we are willing to take loan but UCONN he can be done without loans. If we talk to him, I am sure he will understand but he like northeastern lot. We are as parents struggling.
I don’t think its worth it if you have to take loans - especially since UConn has a good nursing program. Its not like you are choosing one over the other because its a much better program.
