<p>I think I’m in a similar situation… I got into Whitman College which was my first choice, but even with financial aid, we would still have to pay $25,000. Then I got into the University of Oregon Honors College, which gave a full tuition/fees scholarship so I would only have to pay for housing and books, which is around $11,000. </p>
<p>I think I will go to the University of Oregon because I do actually like the campus, and I really don’t think its worth acquiring extra debt going to Whitman when, realistically, it probably would not make a difference after college.</p>
