<p>What is the typical debt after graduation for a private school? I am choosing between two schools: USC and OSU. USC is giving me ~28,000 in grants/scholarship/aid and OSU is giving me ~14,000. However USC's tuition is 47,000 and OSU's is 21,000, meaning I pay 18,000/ year for USC and 7,000/year for OSU. My parents will not help me out so really I'm on my own. Thus far I think I might have $200. That's it. Obviously OSU seems like the better choice, financially, but I'm really set on USC. So would a $72,000 debt be normal or manageable? I mean it seems insane to me that people would actually sustain that kind of debt but really the full price of college is 160,000+ and some people do actually end up paying something close to that. Basically I'm under the impression that the typical college debt is over 100,000. Is my perception wrong? Do you think it would be "worth" it to go to USC? Thank you for your comments.</p>
<p>depends on whether you want to goto Grad school. If ur parents arent gonna pay and u accumulate a massive debt.. then ur dead</p>
<p>.I would say USC isnt $44,000 better than OSU.. so id say take OSU</p>
<p>Anyone else? I really must make a decision in less than 48 hours.</p>
