Penn state gave me $10000 in fin aid out of the $49000 cost of attendance. I still need to pay $38000 each year. Where can i get this mknry from. My parents only jave about $3000 saved up.
You can’t. You will have to attend a cheaper school.
It would have to be loans to your parents. You can’t afford that school.
I already accpeted tho.
Then withdraw your acceptance and apply to an affordable school/community college.
You simply cannot afford Penn State. Hopefully you have not already declined your other offers. If so it may be community college for a year.
Or take a gap year, work to save some money, and re-apply maybe.
That sounds like OOS costs. What are your in state options?
I have umbc as in state. Is that a good alternative to penn state education level wise?
UMBC is a good alternative minus the athletics. But again Penn State is impossible financially. Did you discuss this with your parents before accepting the Penn State offer?
Do you think a bachelors in comouter engineering at umbc is a real alternative to penn state. What is the salary difference out of college?
I have no idea, but again you do not have the choice.
Also how is the campus at umbc, is it similar to a large state school?
All that matters for engineering is that the program is ABET accredited.
It sounds as if you cannot pay for Penn State, so comparing it is pointless. Is UMBC your only affordable option?
No. But the others are salisbury and frostburg which, i dont think, are as good as umbc
I would agree with that.
What’s your cost for each of those three instate options?
They are about 10k a year
The 10k is minus financial aid awarded
