@happymomof1 It’s not worth the debt. Which is why I’m asking if there are better universities for that given price.
@Nova10 How are they culturally different? Can you please explain, I’m just pretty ignorant on the matter.
NIU from what I’ve seen on ratings is SIGNIFICANTLY worse than even UIC.
I already got Parent Plus Loans for 37,000 for my first year at DePaul so that’s not a big issue. But if I see a much better option I’ll maybe consider contacting financial aid and seeing if I can refuse my loan and possibly go to a different school. It all depends.
