<p>alamemom, I already understand your points, but my argument here is the comparison of private universities and public universities. Sure, you make very good points when only talking about private universities, but I am comparing two different scenarios and options. The scholarship made the university affordable, not USC. That is an obvious point to me seeing as how the state schools didn’t require a scholarship for me to attend.</p>

<p>And also, camomof3, I don’t know how you expect a homeless individual like me to shoulder the costs of a private university when I clearly have a better situation at the UC’s instead.</p>
