So I do not have much time to make a choice between Boston University and Northeastern University before May 1st. So I was accepted into both as a physics major (with a minor or double major in math). I got an academic scholarship to BU but not NEU, though I got a better financial aid offer to NEU. Overall if I go to NEU it will be $17,855 in student loans per year (totaling $71,420). At BU it would be $9,900 in student loans every year (totaling $39,600). I am in love with Northeastern, it is absolutely the school I want to go to, especially for their coop opportunities and the job outlook after graduation. I’m wondering if this amount of debt is too much for NEU? I know about $70,000 is a lot, but I would end up going to school somewhere for my masters (somewhere I would take $0 to almost nothing in student loans out) and most likely make a decent amount of money as physicists usually do. So any input would be amazing! Thanks.
Also just for some background I applied to other colleges but I want and am going to go to one of these two colleges.
