Well, if residency in California is practically impossible, then both of my schools are too expensive. So do I really have any other option other than my safety school, where I am fairly confidet I will be rather unhappy? I understand the uncertainty of the medical field at this point, and I realize that these loans are going to be a lot of money, but I’m also not sure that I’m really willing to sacrifice the opportunity. Everyone I know is going to Boulder. I want to meet new people, and I want to go out of state. It’s not just about getting an education; it’s about the experience. And I’m getting mixed signals now… Some say that it’s a stupid decision to go anywhere expensive as an undergrad, and others say that it’s stupid not to go to the top private because the finances can be managed if you’re careful…
