Should I transfer out of Columbia University? I’m already at $80k in loans.?
I’m currently an UNDERGRAD, that’s right: “UNDERGRAD” at Columbia. I know I know, you’re about to say “wow that’s a great school. you should stay!” Right. Problem is I’m already at $80k in student debt, to be repaid after graduation. I got 2 more years left. That’s about 160k in debt, not counting New York City living expenses. I’m working a part-time job and am able to contribute $900/month, which barely pays off my monthly tuition payments.
Is it worth it to go all the way and finish it? 160k is a lot of money. I’m in engineering, but that still doesnt help a whole lot. If I transfer to a mid-tier public school in my hometown, they’ll give me a full scholarship. Should I transfer out?
remember, 160k in loans is just for UNDERGRAD…i havent even begun calculating grad school costs yet…
Well, what is the major at Columbia and can you get thaa degree elsewhere that is as prestigious?
