Thread for people w/ financial aid problems and hard decisions to make

<p>yeah parents can pay it, but won’t. Dad’s a doctor, mom’s a head nurse. both wants me to make it by myself in life after high school…</p>

<p>the only school they would pay for is harvard. fat chance i’m gonna get in…so basically, if i go to vandy, i take around 80K in loans over 4 years. if i go to Duke, i take 120K in loans. both options weren’t what i hoped…</p>
