WE HAVE ONE WEEK LEFT HELP MEEEEEEE

So I was originally deciding between Vassar and Middlebury and after visiting both I was set on committing to Vassar because I loved my visit there more and was ~enamored~ with Vassar in the beginning of applying to college.

BUT HERE COMES A CURVEBALL OOOOHHHH

Haverford had accepted me as well. I love Vassar, but Haverford gave me so much better aid. The contribution expected from both schools are the same but Haverford is asking my mom to pay 2k less and did not include any loans in my package. Vassar aid is phenomenal as well but it included a 3500 loan just because my mom makes barely over 60k, and if you know Vassar aid, that’s why it included a loan. Please help me decide, because Haverford is an awesome choice for sure, but at the same time, I don’t want to deny Vassar, where I was beginning to see myself, just because of money and the chance of post-grad debt.

Someone once said to go to the school that you’d regret saying no to, and I feel that way about Vassar, so I don’t know what to do. Please help.
