[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your friend is going to end up with lots of loans and no degree. Tell your friend to get to a community college and then the closest state school. [/quote] I would try to say this to your friend as gently as possible. Also your friend should: 1) calculate the net cost of attendance for however many years the degree will take (it can be really powerful to see that big number) 2) calculate future loan payments based on the above (here's a calculator: https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action ) 3) Do some informational interviews with professionals in friend's intended field of study to learn more about possible paths to that career and how a UofP degree would be viewed If you do have the conversation, I would try to keep it very practical and non-judgmental.[/quote]
