Go to one. I was offered scholarships at several of those ^ and turned them down to go to a public school for location/price/academic rankings, and now I'll probably be up to my *** in debt trying to transfer to places I could have gone to for free, or close to it.

cool. thanks.
i cannot afford any of the ones that intrigue me in the least. plus the majority are all NE and i kinda want to stay out of that region. (too much family)

i think i might look into lewis and clark college in portland.

Depending on your parents' financial situation you can get very generous financial aid. My sister got into Midd on early admission with 85%+ of ALL of her costs covered. Including a laptop, her semester in Spain etc...

Basically if you get in, they will get you there... unless it's just a question of your parents not wanting to cover the cost. Then you're ****ed.
