| I turned down a lot of money in scholarship elsewhere for Brown. It was just the right choice for me. I don't regret it and neither does my family. I kind of think you just have to decide whether or not the money will be a life-changing sacrifice later on or not, and then whether or not whatever sacrifice it is, if it's worth it for you.
I know I had to be in the right place to be successful. I probably would have dropped out of most colleges in the country or would have had to take a ton of time off at some point. Brown was right for me socially and academically. I didn't put a price on that. |
