<p>Being pratical aside, you also don't always have to make a decision based on saving money. I understand it is important, but everyone on these boards are so worried about going into debt....you need to find out where you will be the happiest and figure out if you will regret not attending Oberlin later on down the road. Look, you can't aviod debt, no matter how old you get. Sometimes in life, you need to make decisons based on what will make you happy, NOT trying to save a buck.</p>
