<p>Money is a problem (but not significantly).
I live in MD but I am in love with Boston.</p>

<p>UMD only gave me 6000 in loans, but I got into the honors program.</p>

<p>BU gave me a 26000 grant and some loans, and I would be in the school of education.</p>

<p>Smith offered me around the same amount as BU, but its all-girls.</p>

<p>I also got into UCLA, NYU, MCPHS, and Northeastern.</p>

<p>My mother and father do not want me to go to BU because they want me to go to a school with a higher academics ranking.</p>

<p>What should I do?</p>

<p>If you’re being motivated by your love of Boston, you should know that Smith is not Boston. It’s 2 hours and $80 away by bus, and most Smithies go once or twice a semester at most to Boston. It’s a special trip, not a regular thing. </p>

<p>Also, Smith is a “women’s college”, not an “all girls” school. :-)</p>
