Hi guys, I recently got accepted to Seattle University for their BSN program this fall 2013 but I am having second thoughts about going. I haven't received much financial aid from the school especially since I'm only 21 and can't claim independent on the fafsa. The tuition per year is 35K and I really don't want to take out 25K in loans per year. About half of these loans would be private loans. I could probably avoid taking out that much loans by working about 30-35 hrs per quarter. That just seems like alot to do while in school. I've already paid my acceptance fee 3 months ago.
The other option (my plan B) would be to go to the cheaper public school UW but not in nursing (I didn't get accepted into their program). I could major in biochemistry/chemistry since I have all the prereqs done for that. I could also probably apply again for the UW nursing program or do the accelerated BSN program after I graduate. I just think that wasting 2 years on this plan seems kind of counterproductive. I also don't really want to go into biochem.
The other plan would be just wait another year and try to get into a two year program.
Should I just take the risk and attend Seattle U for the next 2 years or go on a different path? Thanks.
