$ Financial $

CMU financial came today, w00t...so I think it's telling me $11,716 per year, plus $6,625 in loans. Pretty damn good based on the sticker price. But Drexel is $6635, plus $3625 in loans. Damn. So, is it a big enough gap to warrant not visiting? Well, parents aren't home yet, so we'll have to see what they say...It seems relatively close, and especially since CMU is so crazy prestigious...grr >_< I hate hard choices :P And of course there are always other scholarships, like $1000 at a time...but I need to make a decision so I can truthfully apply to them w/ my expected cost for college...relatively big but relatively small gap...grrr. Though of course, Drexel will always have co-op money, and I think most of CMU's internships are unpaid...Plus Drexel is closer. And I heard that CMU's aid might go down after the first year, but I don't know if it's thoroughly true or not. Rawwwwwr...we'll see. Gotta think.

w00t, coffeehouse tonight. Last one :'( I hope it goes well...I'm a little nervous about a reduced crowd because of the unplugged nature...and hopefully everyone realizes that that's how it's going to be...
