I got accepted to all three (plus towson and penn state) but I really don’t know what to do! I didn’t receive much aid from any of the schools, aside from Pitt who offered a 4k grant (all of the schools were low reaches/high targets, didn’t expect much aid.) UMD was my first choice but has fallen because going there would mean missing my first semester of college. I visited Virginia Tech and loved it, just felt like the town might get stale after a couple months there. UMD is instate. Visiting Pitt on saturday.

Should I go somewhere then transfer in the spring? Go to community college and miss that first semester? Go somewhere all together? HELP!

(Parents are willing to pay for anything so long as I keep my grades up… not taking out loans so I dont expect debt, just more or less of a burden on my parents)
