<p>I am not completely sure if my question has been answered if at the very least indirectly, so I will go ahead and post it.</p>
<p>Anyway, would it be a bad idea for me to attend USC (if it ends up being my first choice) if the financial aid package includes roughly $5,000 in loans instead of a university that also offered the same amount of financial aid but without any loans making up part of the package? Specifically, the aforementioned universities are WashU and Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
