I got accepted to both and received the financial aid pkgs. The net price are both the same. However, for pittsburgh…it included work study and a Perkins loan while Penn state offered me a really good provost award. I have been told that Pittsburgh sends out its awards and scholarships after financial aid? The big difference is that I have to take out more loans for pittsburgh and work study is not always guaranteed. Both are exceptional schools and I love both of them. I like pitt due its area but penn b/c of the college experience. I prefer urban over experience. My goal is to go in the health field and pitt is good for it. However, I’m not a 100% sure and I’m afraid i might switch majors if i cant handle it. My entire family and coworkes think its a mistake to pass up psu. what should i do?
