Miscellaneous / College Decision Help
« on: March 29, 2010, 08:12:53 pm »
As a high school senior, my life is pretty much revolving around where I plan to go for college. I've narrowed it down to two schools, and was wondering if you guys (and girl) could help.
Option 1) AMAZING computer science school, in a nice city, that's the perfect distance away from home (like a 3 hour drive). They're offering a healthy amount of scholarship money, but it'll still cost me a hefty $40K a year... and I'm planning on being financially independent.
Option 2) Strong, local school in my hometown that's basically huge. They're giving me a full ride, but both my parents work there (in the same department in which I would be taking classes), and plus, I would really like to explore the world outside of Ohio.
For a computer science major, do you think it's worth taking up that much debt just to go to a (significantly) better school?
