trying to plan ahead..what would you do??

HI everyone! I’m a senior in high school trying to decide where to continue my education as an undergrad- I know for sure I want to be Pre-Physician Assistant, not positive about a specific major yet.

I have a full tuition scholarship to Temple University and a small scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh. I like Pitt a lot better, but it seems counter-intuitive to pay for Pitt when I can go to Temple for next to nothing.

I’m very lucky in that my parents have given me a set amount of money to use for education. I can go to Temple and save this money for PA school, graduating with my PA degree with less than $10k or 20k in debt, or I can use it for Pitt, graduate with no undergrad loans, but have to pay for grad school on my own.

If you have any experience with Pitt or Temple, is it worth it in your opinion to pay for Pitt? Am I naive to not take the full ride?

Thanks so much!

Temple for now. Save the money for PA school. You will be glad to finish up with minimal debt. It will make your life so much better!

Temple!

third vote for Temple!
