Which of these schools for accounting/finance?

College Majors Business Major
1

<p>Boston University
gave me $43,330 on a $56369 dollar tuition and room and board.
With loans (perkins, unsub, and sub) they offered me $50,030.</p>

<p>DePaul Accounting Honors Program
gave me $31,300 on a $45,000 tuition and room and board
With loans (subbed and unsubbed) offering about $5,500 more.
But only my first year at DePaul will cost anything because they only have housing for the first year.
After that I would plan to rent in Lakeview or Wicker Park.</p>

<p>USC and Notre Dame
I'll need to take out $8000 in loans each per year. Then contribute $4,500 personally, and do $2000 or so in work study.</p>

<p>GWU
have back to hear back on finaid but received a 15k scholarship.</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon
is probably $29k in loans on about at $60k tution+room and board.
So far this is the most expensive.</p>

<p>Where should I go?
Feedback appreciated.</p>

<p>I'm leaning more towards DePaul. But how much would I regret not going to these other schools? And I'm from Chicago so DePaul is perceived as a not that strong of a school.</p>

<p>Nationally is it perceived as up there with the rest of them? And if I go to DePaul how will employers perceive the degree?</p>

<p>I'm going in as an accounting/finance major.</p>

<p>I would say go to USC or Notre Dame. You’d end up with about $32k in debt, which is a pretty manageable amount to pay off. Both schools are quite well-known, and would take you quite a bit further than a degree from DePaul. The benefits from the salary increase resulting from your more prestigious degree alone would more than make up the $32k difference (and from the information you provided, the difference seems to be considerably less than $32k, correct me if I’m wrong).</p>
