-- Posted by PrettygirlLX at 6:24 pm on Aug. 3, 2004 Option A: attend a school that is two hours away stay on campus the school pays for tuition, room, board, and books you get back a refund of about $800 a semester Option B: attend a school that is 40 minutes away commute to school everyday the school pays for tuiton and books you get back a refund of about $1400 a semester Option C: attend a school that is 20 minutes away commute to school everyday the school pays for tuition and books you get back a refund of about $600 a semester Which one would you choose, and why? -- Posted by JennyColada at 6:55 pm on Aug. 3, 2004 C sucks...I'd pick either A or B (mainly because you just get less for C...). Is it more important for you to stay at home or live on campus? What would be the pros and cons for you? Really all it comes down to is living on or off campus. You could always use the refund to pay for an apartment near school. -- Posted by lynette at 8:54 pm on Aug. 3, 2004 i would take option A.  mainly cause i dont like to live too close to home, and i had the greatest time living on campus my first couple of years.  i met my best friends in the dorm. sounds like you get more money too if they are paying for room and board.... -- Posted by JennyColada at 12:16 am on Aug. 4, 2004 Quote: from lynette at 8:54 pm on Aug. 3, 2004 i would take option A.  mainly cause i dont like to live too close to home, and i had the greatest time living on campus my first couple of years.  i met my best friends in the dorm. sounds like you get more money too if they are paying for room and board.... Yup. I'd choose A as well...for the same reasons. -- Posted by BBallAsh23 at 11:59 am on Aug. 4, 2004 go with A! ;) -- Posted by PrettygirlLX at 12:38 pm on Aug. 5, 2004 Ok, ok. A is no longer an option for me. My parents want me to stay close to home. And Option C has changed. So here are my available choices: Option A: attend a school that is 40 minutes away commute to school everyday the school pays for tuiton and books you get back a refund of about $1400 a semester Option B: attend a school that is 20 minutes away stay on campus the school pays for tuition, room, board, and $75 a semester to go toward books you do not get a refund back you have to take out a loan to cover the remaining cost of books -- Posted by BBallAsh23 at 9:24 pm on Aug. 5, 2004 A. sounds like a better choice to me... your getting more money that way... right? lol... or am i totally misunderstanding?
