<p>I make 60,000 a year at home, but i'm also trying to get my engineering degree.</p>

<p>I attended Boston University for a year, but now that i'm making 60k, financial aid has decreased significantly. I will pay 42,000 next year and probably full price, 58k for my junior and senior years.</p>

<p>Should I say screw high tuition and go to a state university in NY, that costs about 20k a year?</p>

<p>Will there be that much of a difference when it comes to job opportunity? I'm thinking BU will give me much better job opportunities because of prestige + connections, but it's so dam expensive.</p>

<p>It probably depends on the state school you choose to go to instead.</p>

<p>That’s going to be either Binghamton, Stony Brook or Buffalo.</p>

<p>I don’t see why BU would be worth about $100,000 more than Stony Brook or Buffalo for studying engineering.</p>
