Philadelphia area colleges, choose two from these three

Hi! Great thoughts- Jefferson proper has been around forever, so JEF would be piggybacking off of that. I’m working to keep Arcadia on the list, but not sure about it.

PSU Abington…, it’s commuter but lots of kids stay for the weekend, and hopefully she’d get lucky and meet kids that do. THis particular kid is happy with a few friends, a book to read, a nice library nearby and grocery store and places to walk to. With occasional romps into a nice place to eat in Center City …so I think there is a sense in which Abington would work better for her than Temple, where there is a huge campus but you’re stuck there and I don’t even know if they have a public library that is safe. :slight_smile: or a grocery store she can walk to …etc. They are apples and organges to be sure but I am not sure that’s a bad thing.

Drexel is the quarter system, and also at 67K for COA, even with the internships, I just don’t think we can or should swing that. We will never get any aid and she is not a scholarship candidate. She’s also really against the idea of the quarter system. SOme of our community colleges here have it and it seems pretty stressful. I wish it was less expensive and semester based :frowning: I could encourage her apply and see what she thinks later of course. But tell her, unless a total miracle happens and they throw her 20K per year it’s not happening. …
