I agree-- thank you so much for your input! Good luck with everything. I am glad you found your passion :)

Thank you! Will you be living with your parents in the meantime? Or with someone who can help financially while you repay your student loan debt?

It would be 21k for the next 4 years essentially... Unless if I am able to finance it somehow through scholarships, if I am lucky. I applied to be a resident assistant for next year so room & board will be free, as well as a free meal plan.

Yes it is a lot. It is actually 10k for room & board. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Its a public university but one of the most expensive ones! It is 21k a year without room and board. But I am paying 30k this year WITH room and board.

So I am currently a freshman at a university and they have an amazing nursing program which is also very difficult to get into. I am currently a second semester freshman and I am on a business track. However, I've been having second thoughts about what I want to do with my life. I don't want to end up sitting behind a desk for hours, hating my life. I have always considered nursing to be an option and I've been seriously considering it. I am very intrigued by the medical field and am inclined to helping people. Therefore, I enrolled in a nursing chemistry class while also taking business courses. If I decide I want to apply to nursing, I need to do it soon! This is a very difficult decision for me. Especially because I am paying 30k a YEAR to go here. If I apply to the nursing school and get in, I will have to start as a freshman next year. I am paying for college through loans. Is it worth the lost 30k and the extra year of schooling? Will I ever be able to repay the debt? This is a 4 year BSN program.
