yes, i’d be able to attend the dream school without running into debt, only by liquidating a bunch of family assets (and losing a lot of money in the process). also, my parents would have to retire later than expected and lower their standard of living in retirement.

my parents have assured me that finances should not be the deciding factor between the two schools, but they’re heavily leaning towards me going to the “dream school” for the prestige. of course, its not exactly a good feeling knowing that i’m draining decades of hard-earned savings going to that school…
