<p>Well, its great that youre in love with wanting to become a doctor…but if your only a senior in high school, you have 5 years before you actually get to start working on that. I would suggest picking a school you enjoy going to, even if it means paying a little bit more simply because if youre not happy, youre not going to do well. </p>
<p>And no, of course paying off debt wont be fun, but with NYU’s location there are a lot of advantages in career fields that will help with that. Going to NYU will be fun (and a lot of work) for four years, and when that ends I know Im going to have a nice degree that will help me get to where I want to be. The location in itself is worth the high price…you cant find those city resources in places like Boston or state schools (not to say that they arent good schools). Sure, I’ll be paying an extra bill for a long time, but thats not going to stop me from enjoying life after college.</p>
<p>You make it sound like you dont think your education is worth much…yes, you can go to a cheaper school and get a good education, but just know a lesser known university isnt going to stand out when youre one of thousands fighting for a spot at a graduate school, or even a job after undergrad. I understand your fear in not wanting a ton of loans, but if NYU is your dream school, you should go for it and find ways to make it work. You also only live once…money isnt everything.</p>
