<p>I was devastated looking at my financial aid package from Geneseo at first. After finishing my freshman year I will tell you that iit’s totally worth it. Also, you will not need all the loans that they give you. I declined a loan that will save me 10000 over the four years. I have to skimp a little but it’s worth it. Also remember that if your grades drop while you’re at a private school you will lose merit funding and instead of paying 20000 per year on the very outside you may be faced with the decision of transferring or shelling out 50 grand a year.</p>
