NSM, willing to do whatever it takes to go to SJC: loans, work, anything. Work might be more persuasive than loans, if only because we have enough money saved up for me to get either undergrad or grad school (but not both). Thus, I don’t see a problem in going to SJC for undergrad and using my tuition remission for grad school at USC. The only problem would be if 1) I didn’t get accepted to USC grad school for some reason or 2) got into a better school than USC and thus would have to pay for both undergrad and grad school. Even in that case, I would only have loans for grad school, which, as posted above, is more manageable with TA’ing, etc.
