<p>this needs a serious bump.
after going to the BU open house and finding there’s no way I’d ever get merit money from them, the cost became a reality at 54k a year and rising 3-8% every year.
the open house only assured me I wanted to go to BU even more, but after doing the math, it seems like I will be leaving BU with about 110+ of debt while NU will only be about 60. am I crazy for still wanting to go to BU?</p>
