Thinking of now ditching TESU and earning my degree at a State U. long story, not that long really, but I don't want to bore you guys.
Here are my options:
Option 1: Finish my degree at TESU. Have no debt. Get a BSBA. If I don't have all the money for the residency wavier up front, I'll just borrow directly from my parents and then pay them back later. Seems easier than taking out student loans for only a 1k -2k. At this point, I'm likely March or June 2020 graduation. I'm not in a rush to finish. In prior threads I was but the opportunities have changed.
Option 2: Finish my degree at local State U starting this fall. Already accepted, admitted, and credits evaluated. It will take a minimum of 1 year because of 30 credit residency and I think I can do it. Graduate in June 2020. I'll get a general Bachelors but it will have double minors in both business and communications. I have access to connections, mentors, opportunities, etc. However, I will have about 10k in debt, possibly less if my parents decide to help me out a bit or I get more scholarships. But the main pro here is I'll be taking in-person courses and all the connections, memories and opportunities I might have and the whole college experience, you just don't get online. And that 10k estimate is after the pell grant and scholarships I've received.
Just was curious to hear your thoughts on this?
