Hello all!
I am a Women’s Studies major…
I have run into quite a bit of a pickle… I love the idea of both UCSB and UCLA. They both have things about them that I both like and dislike. The only true convenience about UCLA is that I only live three miles from campus and have an apartment in a convenient location (my life is also pretty settled down here) . Now, the real problem is that UCLA is offering me very little in terms of aid… I am blue and gold eligible at both schools…so tuition really isn’t an issue. The thing is that UCSB is offering me the UCSB grant on top of the CAL GRANT. That is over 7k in free money. This is all according to provisional award letters… so things might change. Still though, this puts me in a bind- should I leave comfort and family for more grant money or should I stick to the convenience of UCLA?
I didn’t think it’d be this hard ya’ll!
