<p>I’m a college sophomore attending Hunter College where I commute to school every day. I’ve been accepted as a transfer to SUNY Buffalo. I want to major in geography with a concentration in geographic information systems and minor in earth systems science. Or maybe I should major in environmental geosciences? Overall, I’m aiming for some kind of career related to environmental science. </p>
<p>I’m not sure if I should transfer because I’m really worried about the money. I come from a working middle class family, so we don’t get much financial aid. We’re not poor but not rich either. </p>
<p>My mom thinks I should stay and save money and my dad thinks I should go and not worry about the money. If I go, I have to take loans. I’m terrified of the idea of being buried in student debt. What if I don’t find a job after graduation and struggle to pay off loans? </p>
<p>The loans they offered me isn’t enough to cover everything. I’m going to be living in off campus housing with a few other people so it’s slightly cheaper than dorming but I feel so guilty my parents are helping me pay for it PLUS the fact I’d be on student loans.</p>
