<p>is there is still time to apply to other colleges in dc area and maybe they would offer more??? you only have 2 to compare right now.</p>
<p>Think long and hard. Make the pros and cons list. Figure out the financial ramifications long term for both. Consult your heart. Write a script of yourself in each situation. Sleep on it. You’ll make the right choice!</p>
<p>Go back to American and ask for more money. It can’t hurt. As someone else said, I truly feel for kids in your situation. Don’t forget cost of going home on holidays (thangkgiving, xmas, spring break). Bottom line, I never like to see kids graduate with more than 20K in dept. Mills may even be too expensive for you. </p>
<p>As an aside, I went to an all girls college (way back in the late 70’s) and had the time of my life. You do have a social life and there will be plenty of parties and opportunities to mix with the boys. Don’t let the all girl school turn you off. </p>
<p>Last, have you applied anywhere else?</p>
<p>I am imagine that the OP is happily enrolled at a school somewhere since the original post was from March of 2008.</p>
<p>skurai never posted again on cc after this thread. How weird is that?!</p>
<p>Seems pretty typical to me. I don’ t understand why people resurrect these old threads though. I only ever look at the first page or two of the forum.</p>
<p>Go to American. Get a part-time job at the Wagshalls deli right across the street (Mass. Ave.). Make it work. You will have 45 years to make up the $40,000 difference. I’ll bet you can do it in 12.</p>
<p>I think what happens is that people click on the feature at the bottom of the page, with similar stories, not realizing how old they are.</p>
