> That's for all your suggestions. Just as an update, I got accepted to two schools tonight. One of which was (probably) my top choice. I think it might have to come down to money in the end. Both cost $35,000 (after room and board and food and books and beer and everything) a year but the top choice one is giving me $27,000 and the other is giving me $31,000.


Congratulations, Wes. I have no standing to be so, but I am proud of you, as well as extremely happy for you. I know you'll be a success wherever you choose to go. Let me suggest that depending on the reasons the school is your top choice, the extra $4,000 per year out of your pocket might be worth it, especially if you don't have to start paying it until after you graduate. Or try searching the 'net for some of those really off the wall scholarships for people with your unique brand of "specialness" (had to put one dig in this serious post, don'tcha know).

Or maybe you can sell a case of shells 'n' cheese for about $4k.

Mou"just a suggestion"sie
