<p>hello all, just wondering if anyone could help with ideas for what i should do for next year-
i dont have alot of money saved up for school, and my family would be struggling to help me pay for college so should i go back home to colorado and pay in state tuition at colorado state, or university of colorado?
or try for a more prestigious, and academically challenging but more expensive east coast school like u mass, or cornell…?
any thoughts, ideas, anything would be helpful
thanks!</p>

<p>I think u mass and u colorado are pretty equal in terms of prestige and academics…</p>

<p>UMass will allow you to work within the college consortium though, which includes Amherst, Smith, Mount Holyoke, and Hampshire–all very top schools, especially Amherst and the 2 sisters. Your stats are above their average too, so you could try for some out of state scholarshps. It does have some very top ranked departments, like Linguistics.</p>
