<p>I need your help and advice!!!</p>
<p>My daughter is a good (not great) student who currently is undecided on a major though she is leaning towards communications (film editing). She has been admitted to a number of good New York State Schools including Oneonta, New Paltz and Albany. She has also recently been accepted to Penn State (University Park). </p>
<p>The problem is that we live in NY so Penn State will cost double. Is it worth it? Why? </p>
<p>Any thoughts, guidance, opinions or experience would be greatly appreciated!!! </p>
<p>Thank you!!</p>
<p>I am in the same situation with my son. He has been accepted to Umass (with a scholorship) and JMU both are significantly less costly. The bottom line is that I truly believe that the job market and number of Penn State alumni across the US and World, makes going there worth the extra money.</p>
<p>I am out state from VA. From what I have observed, I believe that it’s worth it. I think it will be a lot easier to find a job after my 4 years are over if I have a PSU degree compared to a VT degree, especially if I don’t work in the Virginia area. </p>
<p>Just my opinion. I’m speaking from an Engineering perspective so I don’t know how beneficial that will be.</p>
