<p>I was wondering if any students or Alumni could give me some insight on Penn State University Park, University of Florida, and UMass Amherst's undergrad psychology program. Any information on those would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to decide which one to attend.</p>
<p>These are all big state schools that are quite good. They’re all going to have good psych depts. </p>
<p>Are you instate for any of these schools? </p>
<p>Will your parents pay the high price to go to these out of state schools? It may be a waste of money to do so if you have a good instate option. What is your home state? How much will your parents pay?</p>
<p>my home state is Florida… I’m transferring from another school here once I complete my AA…I am leaning towards UF because of the lower tuition Ill finish by Bachelors with close no student debt, but because I want to attend UF for their combined MPH/Ph.D I would like some diversity as an undergrad. My parental contribution will be towards my books, supplies, housing, and general expenses.</p>
<p>Then transfer to FSU, UCF, or another Florida public.</p>
<p>If your parents are paying for the expenses that you list, HOW WOULD YOU pay for OOS tuition at Penn State or UMass? That’s a LOT of money?</p>
<p>(are you saying that your parents will cover ALL of dorm costs, meal plan, books, etc? Or are you saying that they’ll give you “some” money to put towards those costs??)</p>
<p>Go to a Florida public.</p>
<p>I’ll be living off campus, and they’ll be covering ALL costs and expenses, any tuition not covered by financial aid I’ll cover with student loans</p>
<p>those are OOS publics. They won’t give you FA to cover their costs. They charge HIGH OOS costs because your parents don’t pay taxes there. IT wouldn’t make sense for them to cover those high costs with aid.</p>
<p>YOU can’t borrow much. As a junior or senior, YOU can only borrow $7500 per year. That’s not going to put a dent into the high OOS tuition.</p>
<p>I’ll figure out the financials with my parents, I just really want information on the quality of their psychology programs and the overall what it’s like at those schools</p>
