@ScreenName48105 I see. Even with financial aid we can still expect it to be pretty expensive right? USC costs $70,000, and with financial aid, would we assume the cost maybe knocked down to, say 45,000-50,000? The original post is wrong in saying that our family income is about 90k…I checked my FAFSA and it’s more like 70k.

I don’t know…It seems like “debt” isn’t really all that it’s cracked up to be. High school hasn’t really prepared me for this, so I’m having to research this for myself and I may not know what I’m talking about lol. To me, I feel like everyone has to deal with debt, and that it’s just part of life, so it’s not really that big of a deal, right? You’re not going to be living on the streets even if you’re in debt.

So, I don’t know. Is it a good idea to go to USC with that much money on my shoulders? One of my friends got accepted to Berkeley and is also paying 50k a month, but his situation is different in that he is majoring in computer science. Wouldn’t the competitiveness be just as difficult for computer science in Cali as it is for music?

Again, sorry for all the questions. I know it’s a lot of info, but I’m kind of having an existential crisis right now…
