[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read through all the comments, but if I were OP I would NOT take time off from school, because it will feel much harder to go back at 24 or later to complete your degree. Unfortunately, attending college doesn't count to employers if you don't graduate, so just get it done. During my third year in college (not an ivy) I was completely overwhelmed as an architecture major, which in retrospect wasn't the best fit for me. I told my parents I wanted to drop out, and they encouraged me to finish my BArch degree. You know what? They were right. I'm so glad I listened to them, because that degree has opened so many doors for me even though I'm not working in the architecture field today. [b] And yes, I would try to negotiate for more aid from your school so you can reduce the loan amount - it worked for me. [/b]Best of luck.[/quote]

OP said that her parents already tried to negotiate with Columbia and it failed. [/quote]

Okay. If I were OP I would contact the school on my own to try to negotiate. But regardless, it doesn't change the advice that OP finish a degree - any degree.[/quote]
