So I love Dartmouth . . .

I realize that I haven’t been accepted yet, Katmandoo. That’s not the issue. Indeed, this is not really about Dartmouth; I posted the question here only because Dartmouth is my favorite school. The issue is whether or not I should allow my parents to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on my education when I could go to a UC school for about one-half the cost. Keep in mind that a UC education is not cheap. It will cost my parents around $20,000 to $25,000 a year and graduating in four years may prove problematic (due to budget cuts and the problem registering for some required classes).

Thanks for you input, however.
