<p>Hey guys, I am convinced that the worst feeling is not knowing what college to ultimately choose, at least right now I'm convinced it is. With time running out on making a deposit, I'm scrambling trying to make the choice between Fairleigh Dickinson Unjversity - College at Florham Campus, and St. Francis college in Brooklyn, NY. Here's the deal: I would be majoring in Secondary Eduation w/ Social Studies and I want to go away and dorm. FDU is my top choice school right now, but honestly even with the financial aid package I've received from them, it's still very expensive. St. Francis on the other hand, is on the much cheaper side at a fraction of the cost. I would be dorming there in Brooklyn too. My dilemma is as follows: I've always and still have the dream to be a firefighter. I will try and pursue that career as best as I can, but I will continue to end up majoring on education to become a teacher.
-- question: is it worth having SO much debt to go to FDU because its my "top choice favorite" school, even if I'm not sure what my future will hold as far as being a teacher or firefighter? Or is it more worth it to go to the cheaper college ( st. Francis ) even though its not anywhere near being my top choice. The only reason I'm seriously considering them is because of the price and I really wouldn't mind dorming in downtown brooklyn and being in be middle of the city that know and love? The location and price is second to none, but defiantly not what I have my mind set on. I'm convinced my dream school is FDU.
