<p>Have you considered those in Australia? What about University of Waterloo in Canada?</p>
<p>I’ve decided to go!
I figured if i were to get an awesome undergrad degree, there should be some weight on my shoulders to further motivate me 
(that plus I was just told that there are further opportunities for scholarships for sophomore year + outside scholarships etc)
Thanks for all the contribution! I’m gunna try really hard and chase my dreams (I sound really naive. . .)</p>
<p>you are right on that regard. freshman year is the hardest one to pay for college. there are still plenty of scholarships available, many of them for upperclassmen or college students who have been successful or involved in school. you could be an RA in a dorm and get housing free (i don’t know if Penn does this). you can get an internship or a co-op which generally pay engineers pretty well. it all helps. good luck with everything!</p>
