Which is a better choice, a more prestigious school or a cheap school?
Asked by who_knows_where_it_will_leadThe prestigious school is very expensive and I would incur a lot of debt. The cheap school is mid-range in respectability, an average state school, but is cheap and offers a lot of financial aid as well. I understand that future career (i.e. ability to repay loans and live a good life) has a lot to do with it, but I'm not sure what kind of job I want after school.

First of all, are you sure you'd incur that much debt at the prestigious school? Do you have their financial aid package? You'd be surprised how much money many of these prestigious schools offer. For me, I use a simple formula. If you're going to grad school, go to the state school. If you're working right after graduation, go to the prestigious one. That's my generalization. Yeah, it depends on a person's particular situation and what schools they're talking about, but absent all those details, that's what I'd say.
