My D is having a similar struggle as you Anirak, different schools. She is trying to justify paying full price to Cornell Engineering vs. Northeastern where she was given a very generous merit aid package. She knows she can count on a fixed amount from mom and dad, and beyond that the loans kick in. We are all the process of trying to determine if the Cornell degree will significantly increase her opportunities upon graduation as far as a job, contacts, etc. I wish you luck, please let us know what you decide.
