[quote=Anonymous]Catholic. It's a blessing to come out of college with ZERO in student loans. Her parents can take whatever savings and see if she needs it for grad school.

If she's wanting to go into media/journalism, she can intern/work part-time for four years here in DC. She will have her pick of jobs with basically every news and media org on earth. Kids graduating from Newhouse will be reporting to HER right out of college because she will have four years of contacts and work experience.

The hustle matters more than the name brand in journalism/media. IMHO.

Also, I'm wary of price creep with private schools. It may cost her family $10K freshman year and then go up from there. Read the fine print on the Syracuse scholarship. I'd also want to know the GPA and attendance requirements for the scholarships at all three schools. What happens if she needs to take a medical leave of absence? Does she lose scholarship? There's lots of caveats to keep the scholarship. Hope for the best, plan for the worst...[/quote]
