Well let's not argue anymore about the loan amount, since I'm still unsure of how much it will actually be. I estimated $800 month, but we'll just have to wait and see.

And my parents think that I shouldn't take out any loans. They think I should just go to SDSU. But they want me to stay in California so even if IU was free they would still recommend SDSU.

But in the end, they know it's my decision, and if I'm confident about IU when May 1st rolls around, I'm sure they will let me go there.

Anyways, I've reached a middle ground. Since the cost-of-living difference between the Midwest and California is roughly $500, that is my max monthly payment I will take. So if SDSU was free and IU was $800/month, then I would go to SDSU. But I'm going to pray that IU works out for me...but if not...I'll just make sure to have an amazing time at SDSU.

Thanks for the help.
