I've got 39k for an undergrad degree in sociology. I was offered virtually free rides at schools like FAU and FIU, who had excellent scholarships for National Merit Semifinalists, but as a 17 year old snob, I turned my nose up at going to a school I had never heard of, and went to Florida, where I financed most of my education on loans.
While I would never give up being a Gator, I sometimes wonder if I made the right decision (usually while I'm writing the monthy check to the Department of Education, or riding the bus since I can't afford to buy a car becasue of my loan payments....)
