<p>HI there, I am a mom and I just want to caution you about loans.
Are you saying you would have to pay the full 24,500 per year for Pitt vs 15,000 per year for Geneseo? Meaning, an additional 40,000 in loans over the four years?
I beg you not to do this. As hard as it might be, you might want to consider going to Nassau community college honors college for two years and then transferring to Pitt.
If you get good grades at Nassau you would probably get some transfer merit aid for Pitt.
In the end, you would still have a BA or a BS from Pitt but less than half the loans.
The money really matters. I know it’s hard…just a mom’s opinion. GOod luck to you wherever you go, I am sure you will make friends and do well.</p>
