<p>Thanks for the posts everyone! and thanks for the link ThaKalp, it definitely lent some valuable insight. I think I’m swaying towards BC, because of the national name value, something that’s particularly valuable for political science. However, I am still torn financially, although I think that the chance of landing a job, maybe even a well paying job relatively soon after college would be easier with BC.
I’m the son of two Russian immigrants, so I’ve grown up witnessing first hand the struggles that loans can put on a person and a family. Even though my father has finally begun practicing as a doctor, he has over 200k of loans himself. I feel that while loans are not desirable, if I can build a decent career, than the loans would be manageable. So ThaKalp, I think I’m ultimately headed to BC, but nothing’s definite yet</p>
