Help Me Decide

Recently accepted into UF with full ride+extra and today accepted into Notre Dame. With ND, though, I’ll receive no need-based aid yet my parents aren’t in the financial situation to help me with the 80k+/year COA. So, I’m struggling with the idea of taking on such a large amount of debt even though ND is much superior recruiting for my goals in S&T. Currently waiting on Dartmouth, UMich, and UNC, but would likely be in a similar situation as here.

Any input would definitely help. Is the value really there for such debt? Has anyone had a positive experience with UFlorida? Thanks!

Notre Dame unfortunately (& I love my Florida ppl). Just not enough volume of recruiting at Florida if you're not diversity or the #1 guy. Make sure you'd get good loan terms (sub-5% and subsidized is ideal). Not sure you actually know what S&T is to make a college decision off it though
