Rutgers or USF dilemma

Paying for College
1

<p>I have been admitted to my state school, Rutgers New Brunswick. I have also been admitted to the University of San Francisco. I want to study Media Broadcasting but I am having trouble deciding where to enroll. </p>

<p>Rutgers has given me practically no financial aid, just work study and loans. USF has given me a pretty generous package. At this point, USF is the cheaper school for me. However, it is very far away from home and I have never visited the school. I have visited Rutgers though, and I loved it.
Should I go to Rutgers for about $2000 more a year or go to USF, a lower ranked school that I haven't seen? Which is a better descision?</p>

<p>If you love Rutgers and you like their program, $2000 isn't a huge difference. Our kid goes to school in CA and every time we fly her somewhere it costs us between $200 and $450. That adds up. In the end, the costs (if you include transportation home for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring break and getting to and from school at the beginning and end) will be pretty similar.</p>

<p>When you said I LOVED IT....that told me something.</p>

<p>USF has internships that are all over San Francisco, a truly wonderful city. Maybe you need to visit?</p>
