Harvard Arts In Education or USC Postsecondary Administration and Student Affairs

[SeekingHelp]

Hello all!

 

Its decision time and I am not sure I am making the right choice. Already I'm not at a great place financially and in both schools Id be paying approximately 30K. However one program is one of a kind and closer to my passions but the other is definitely a good match for the work I have been doing. 

 

The decision to move from California to Massachusetts is definitely a difficult one considering I don't have a steady income yet. I would need employment and an apartment to make it by there. If I stay in CA I have already secured employment and have a chance at a scholarship that will decrease my debt by approximately 10K. Private loans are going to be hard to come by and I don't have a chance at any public assistance. So then do I take this huge risk at a place like Harvard, or do I go for the safer but still amazing choice at USC where I wouldn't necessarily be losing if I do take the chance. They have wonderful opportunities and a chance at  working with some brilliant professors as well. Please Help!
