<p>Hi, so I've recently been admitted to both USC, UCSB, and some other schools. I've narrowed it down to these as my top choices and I'm having a really difficult time deciding. For USC, I've been admitted to Marshall but it's SO expensive(about $60,000 a year). I would love to attend, but I'm not sure if I have the heart to put my parents through that financial trouble. We are too wealthy for financial aid, but not wealthy enough to easily pay for college at all. I also have a younger brother who is planning on attending college too in the next few years when he graduates. USC has a great alumni network obviously, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. UCSB on the other hand is a cheaper $33,000(I'm a California resident). I was admitted to the College of Arts and Sciences with the Honors Program. But, many more people from my school are attending here and I'm not sure I want that. I also know that UCSB is not quite as prestigious and more known as a party school. But I would love to save some money. If I went to UCSB, I would try to major in communications(for marketing) or econ. But I'm open to exploring some other options there. Anyways, I wanna hear what you guys have to say. PLEASE HELP</p>
