<p>I’ll definitely begin looking into schools that would potentially offer more merit money. </p>
<p>If U Pitt could offer full tuition then that would be affordable for my family. We should be able to afford room and board, it is just getting the outrageous tuitions down to a much more managable number.</p>
<p>Also, Mom2CollegeKids, I’m not really sure about my educational path. This is largely due to a lack of throrough research on my part. I do not want to become a neurosurgeon working with patients. I’m hoping to do research in the field of neuroscience. What, then, would be the best course to that destination? Perhaps that kind of question belongs in a different thread?</p>
