Is Chicago actually affordable?

Boulder is barely financially viable as it is… And I did apply for a ton of scholarships, but I haven’t been having any luck.

I know that it is not my parents responsibility to pay for my college. I just find this entire system really difficult at times. I don’t mean to project or deflect. I’m just getting a bit upset by this entire process… I should probably just give up thinking about it any longer tonight, but it’s hard to. It just upsets me that the cheapest school (and the one I like the least) on my list is still going to leave me in substantial debt. It kind of makes me feel like if I’m going to be in debt, I might as well be happy about the reason for it.

I do apologize for my negative attitude about all of this, though. It’s just getting hard to deal with my parents and the schools while still trying to manage my own schoolwork and job. So, I really am sorry, and I do appreciate all of the help that everyone here on CC is giving me.
