Would you go to a college that you would have to get a $7,000 loan or the college w/ a 5,000 loan?

If I go to my first choice school I would have to get a $7,000 loan. I really want to go to this school. The other school is my 4th choice school, and if i were to go there i would have to get a $5,513 loan. I dont really want to go to this school. It doesnt even have my major. What should i do?

Considering college costs 50,000.00 (yes, fifty thousand dollars) at some universities, a 1500.00 difference in loans doesn%26#039;t seem like much.

Further, you already know you want to major in a given subject, why would you throw your desires out the window for such a small amount of money?

Your heart already knows what to do, your question already says so. Go to your first choice school.

sounds like you already made your decision....it%26#039;s you first choice school and it%26#039;s only an extra 1500 AND you don%26#039;t even really want to go to that other school!!!

You pretty much answered your own question! If you don%26#039;t want to go there really, and they don%26#039;t have your major to boot... why would you even consider it? College is expensive. And, in the long run, that extra $1500 or so won%26#039;t seem like much. You%26#039;ll be paying off school loans forever one way or another, anyway! Go to the school you really want and that offers the major you%26#039;re interested in.

Go to your first choice! Paying back $7,000 is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. You could be in my position: I just graduated from law school with around $90,000 in debt from undergrad and law school. So in comparison, $7,000 is nothing.

Go to your first choice. You won%26#039;t regret it.

You answered your own question, got to the one that has your major. If they both had your major then I would say go by what the two schools have to offer and go to that one. Good luck.

That little difference in money is not much in comparison to what the quality of each school is. Also you will have to be able to live and deal with what school you pick. Consider the fact that with a college degree that the $8,000 difference is not that much compared to the minimum $20,000 over four years and that your loans are extended for a long time after you graduate. So i would go with your number 1 choice.

Go to the $7K school, but knock out as many pre-reqs for your major at a community college first if you want to save some money.
