hi! so to catch up on previous post i’m looking to do ux/ui when i get out of college or be an art director and am majoring in communication design. i’m not considering nyush anymore but now am deciding between northeastern (stuck with the global scholar program), syracuse, and fit. my mother has around 150k saved up for college funds to help pay for schools and i’d prefer to now be surrounded by student debt after i graduate but i’d also want to go somewhere that will set me up career-wise and also hopefully with a decent job after graduation. for scholarship wise i don’t seem to be able to apply to most i find online and was offered 20k annually from syracuse and 2k annually from northeastern. originally northeastern was my number 1 because of the co-op and i still love the program however the price and fact that i will be taking summer classes or have to take 5 years to graduate will suck especially since my whole first year i’m in london and oakland (which was my third choice of campus selections). decision day is may 1st for northeastern and may 15th for syracuse and fit. my parents are appealing most likely to all schools for more money as i received 0 dollars for financial aid at all for all schools and the financial situation has changed and is not the best which makes it difficult to go anywhere debt free. the other issue is what school will be best to get a higher end job or set me up better as i’ll most likely minor or potentially switch to something more business focused. northeastern has design exclusively and no specific major besides that, syracuse has communication design and the program seems to be the direct ally that i’d like to focus on and fit has advertising and digital design which is also more focused on what i’d like to pursue. for dorming i’d live on campus first year for all schools fit however i can move with my grandmother in queens, NY for money reasons and just in general after the first or second year while the other schools i’m stuck wherever the campus is. i’d like to study abroad but that seems pretty impossible with northeastern because of global scholar and at fit its not included in cost which sucks but syracuse includes it into their tuition which would mean i go definitely do it. please let me know what you think i should do but also just looking for any insight in general. NOTE: my mother loves northeastern and is set that it will set me up best and says she rather pay for that than syracuse however it still is very expensive and i’m not sure that i’ll save any money with co-op because i’ll have to do either another year or lots of summer courses.)
