@S&P We can only visit after May 1st so I won’t be able to choose colleges then already. Smith is forcibly affordable - I have to decrease the budget for a lot of expenses, such as winter clothing, yearly allowance, and buy 2nd hand books whenever possible. I think I’ll put off buying a new laptop till my current one spoils. I originally wanted to get one from Smith (because of the free maintenance and all), but mine is still doing good after 2 years so… I’ll see. I’m hoping that the little savings can add up. I will try to see if I can handle 5 classes per semester, but I think the chances of me finishing in 3 years and 4 years are about the same. It really depends on if I find other interests or stick to what I’ve planned for myself.
