Ok, let's see. I went to my "dream school" for a year and a half and had to transfer due to financial aid (or lack there of). Then my dad had a stroke and there was no money coming in. So, here I am 8 years out of high school and no degree with a good year left and loans out the wazoo. I sacrificed a lot of things (including my relationship with my father) to go to the "dream school" and where am I? Stuck in a contract job where I can't get hired in as "real" until I have the piece of paper. Can't get transcripts to take classes until the loans are paid off.
I know this is depressing, but bottom line: the degree is what is important. You will make the best and have a great time in college no matter where you go as long as you MAKE it an experience. I wish that I had made different choices. I'd have a lot less stress and a lot less debt. And I wouldn't be kicking myself in the ass.
