Hey, my name's Beryl. I'm a 22 year old male student, living in Brooklyn NY.
I was recently accepted to Columbia U, School of General Studies. This was huge for me as I've never had a previous education (prior to my Associates at Kingsborough CC).
They've accepted about 40 of my credits, and after punching the numbers I've realized that it would cost me about 13K a year in loans (aside from living expense) to take 12 credits there per semester.
The question is, with me going into Clinical Psychology, hoping to go straight into a PHD program, is it worth this debt?
My other option is Hunter college, where because of financial aid I'd get paid to go there, a bit.
This issue is driving me insane, and I would really appreciate any and all help.
Thank you.
