I got into WWU with a decent merit aid scholarship, but I also got into Reed college with a pretty good financial scholarship ($33k my first year). I don’t know if it is worth the extra $60,000 worth in debt at the end of my four years to go to Reed, or just go there later in life for grad school. I really like both schools and I feel like I will make a home at either school but I don’t know if I would be stupid to pass up Reed just because I can’t completely afford it.
Reed is a great school but I can’t see it being worth $60K EXTRA in debt. That’s way too much
Debt is not your friend, especially if you want to start a family down the road.
