stories about choosing the more affordable school for business

got into a lot of wonderful target school for business (finance major) but have finally decided to attend my state school because they’re giving me a full ride. anyone in the same boat/ has been, please share where you are now!!

super heartbreaking to put in all that effort throughout hs, get into top colleges, and then realize it’s too expensive. but i know my future is in my hands and it is what i make of it. just want all honestly from people— did things work out? did they not? please share any experiences/ stories/ advice, anything!! tryna get a feel for my future as i find my place :)
