Protected: Why I’m Going to a School I Kinda Sorta Pretty Much Hate Sometimes

The school that offers free everything sounds good, and the job upon graduation? Maybe the money can be used for really good grad school instead? Oh I don't know, school is always so confusing..and expensive. I wish you luck, you're such a smart girl. I think you'll survive.

I went to a small, EXPENSIVE, very good school. After 4 years (really after 1 and 1/2), I was so beyond ready to leave that place. I do have some great memories, but I was ready to move on with my life. You seem very mature (and smart, obviously), so hopefully you'll enjoy grad school more ;)

Yeah, I understand. I sometimes wonder if my "dream" school would be the right fit for me. I look at my high school friends and see how hard they are struggling to just pass classes at elite schools, and I am curious to know if I would be having the same struggles and issues. Worrying if whether or not I'll be able to pass such and such a class. Or worrying if I will graduate in 5 years or 6.

well its the sacrifices i guess. you could still transfer :P but it looks like the appeal of your current school offerings sounds better than the other options.

it's amazing the things we endure because of money. the ways in which we let ourselves settle. and it's not that you're doing a bad thing. you did what was right for you in that situation at that time, just like i'm doing right now.

everything is going to work out. and you'll be better and stronger for all of it. :)

heres to you from me, wishing you some luck. may you get into the grad school that you like! and may the remaining time you have here go by quicly!

Yeah I know how that feels. I hate how I can't qualify for financial aid coz my family earns more than the stipulated income. Just because we earn "a lot" doesn't mean it's enough for college!

Singapore's government subsidies a big chunk of our tuition fees and still it's still so expensive. Thank god my student loan doesn't come with interest.

I'm in college also and I know how frustrating it can be, especially where finances are concerned! In a perfect world I'd already have my masters and be debt free, but I've learned that life isn't fair. I can make the best of it, though, and that's what I'm trying to do.

Keep up the good work and best wishes!!!
