FULL RIDE 😛…. or crazy debt, thoughts?

Discussion

I GOT A FULL RIDE TO STATE SCHOOL 🥳🥳

But should I wait to hear back from the top-notch out of state colleges? TBH I don’t even think my other apps are worth it anymore bc why go into debt ? This school is actually good at what I wanna go into and the full ride is tuition+housing+study abroad+ more for books/living expenses/extra.

But most importantly, I want a college degree that is gonna set me up for success in a career. Will an Ivy League or “Public Ivy” really make that much of a difference? And will it even pay off because I’ll have to pay off debt? Why go into debt? Are the other applications worth it?

Let’s hear y’all’s thoughts on this.
