<p>To me if you love Tufts this is a no brainer … </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You should be able to comfortably work 10 hours a week or so during school and that should come out to something more like $2500 rather than $1800 (so that is some of the gap). If you work during winter break and the summer you should be able to make another couple thousand dollars … and the gap should be $1000 or less. Can your parents pay $1000 per year? Or are you willing to borrow about $4000 total to go to Tufts? If it’s me I go for it.</p>
