See I did it in reverse== I chose to NOT go to the school that gave me a full 4 year scholarship -- the University of San Diego. Why? It reminded me too much of my high school -- small and catholic-- and my two best friends were going there and much as I loved and still love them, I felt I MUST strike out on my own.
So I chose the school that had quickly become my first choice after the campus visits I did with my Dad my senior year in high school-- USC. USC gave me a partial scholarship--which I promptly lost when I partied too much my freshman year and my grades SUCKED--so while my parents had agreed to cover the difference in the scholarship, other financial aid and the actual cost of USC-- I found myself suddenly out of my own irresponsibility having to pay for the portion that the scholarship covered myself. That was HARD, it still is HARD since I am still paying that off-- But it was 100% worth it and continues to be 100% worth it. So my path turned out to be a bit screwier and more difficult than I had anticipated-- I was still at the school I wanted to be at, the school I loved.
