Any regrets choosing full tuition scholarship over elite school?

Pittpanther - well said.

My son is also a freshman at Pitt. His heart was set on school in Boston. He did get into both BU and NEU with scholarships from both, but they still would have cost abot 35K a year each.

As he reminds me I shoved him in the direction of Pitt at the time. Actually what I said was go to Boston and come our of school with over 100K in loans or go to Pitt with full tuition and come out dept free.

In his own words he is very happy at Pitt. Went to visit friends in Boston a few weekends ago and I was waiting to hear “I should have gone to Boston” but not a word.

I felt from the start that Pitt would be a good fit for him, and he also feels that he made the right choice.
