| I second (third, fourth, fifth?) Northeastern. I really liked the school and was heavily considering it before I realized I would have to take out 30K in loans. I received a sizeable merit-based scholarship but in addition to that, only work study and loans, no grants at all. I realize that my EFC is quite high but my parents make around 70K a year, not 120K+ like others. I dunno, I think it really stinks when my parents ability to save hard-earned money (not for my college) is held against me. I can get 5k a year help from them, but that's not even close to what I'll need to pay for a school out of state. But i'm just disappointed, oh well. |
