<p>Well… You’ll see how admirable it is when she’s graduated Harvard med with 400k in debt.That’s 1,700 + interest for the next 20 years. So more like 2k. Do you realize how much money that is? Even on a doctor’s salary. I don’t find it admirable at all. </p>
<p>Go to NEU, ESPECIALLY of you want to be premed. You should focus on saving money for med school, which is much more expensive and has very few scholarships. Boston has tons of opportunities, and I’m sure you can coop in the science/research/medicine field. Also, Boston itself has a booming biotech industry. </p>
<p>Even if you don’t want to be premed, the coop program will help you get research experience and a job. After all, the point of college is a job, right? </p>
<p>Try to separate yourself from what people think of the reputation, and realize which one has more opportunities to offer you (hint… It’s NEU).</p>
