As a senior in high school I have applied to colleges. So far I have been accepted at: St. Michael's College, St. Anselm College, Providence College, Northeastern University, and Boston University. I am very inerested in attending either Northeastern or BU. This seems somewhat impossible seeing as I am from a middle class family. Northeastern cost around $50,000 a year and they only gave me $26,000, of which $7500 is in the form of loans. BU costs around $52,000 a year and I only received $25,500, of which $8,500 is in the form of loans. I just don't understand what they expect me to do. Am I supposed to take the rest out in loans? If I do, that means that I'll be in debt approximately $126,000 (Northeastern) or $140,000 (BU). Isn't that alot to be in debt upon graduation? Does anyone have any ideas?
