Thank you for the reply!
I went over the issue with my parents again, and I found that both are affordable without loans and earning 10k at campus!
Thanks for the information. I assume that at least earning 5k/year on campus would be viable?
After much thought, I’ve also decided to mostly major in Systems Biology at Case, which I believe would be better than just biology.
With my parents help, four years at case is definitely affordable, although it will take a hit to my family’s savings. But I’m very fortunate that it has become an option. My only remaining question is, will Case be worth it in terms of value, experience, and opportunities?
