Accepted/Offered: $30,050
Aid Total: $59,360

They basically offered me half tuition and expect me to pay/loan the rest, which is a problem. My mother is a single (disabled) parent who lives off of SSI. Taking on that much debt for her is not an option, and for me, I’m not sure if it’s worth it. My teacher told me to call up the Office of Financial Aid and try to “bargain” with them. Scholarship wise, $30,000 a year is a hefty chunk to come up with. Not really sure what to do at this point, I have until March 15 to decide.
