Any advice on deciding on college would be appreciated. I just got into NYU ED2 and have to decide by march 11. Ever since I was a freshman NYU was the only school I dreamed of and I though it was a long shot of getting in so I was surprised when I got in but sadly I got put into lsp (liberal studies program). At first I didn't mind it but I realized I wouldn't be able to pick most of my classes for 2 years before getting switched into the college of arts and sciences which would be hard for me since I'm undecided and I need to use the first 2 years of college to take different classes to kind of get a feel for what I want to major in. I am thinking either journalism or something to do with film or television so I applied to CAS thinking I can just switch to tisch if I realize journalism isn't my thing but I'll never have that chance now. Another problem is money. NYU only gave me 5000 in aid so that's really terrible. Why should I get loans for a school that will provide me with a degree that will probably be hard to get money at realistically (I envy all of you STEM loving people). So anyways I have only gotten into my local state school so far which I visited and hated and I'm waiting on Boston University and Northeastern. They're just as expensive as NYU but they might give me better aid. I was thinking as an option of going to my state school for two years and transferring after taking journalism and film writing classes deciding on a school that is good for one or the other but I'm afraid I won't get the same college experience as everyone else. I am a very shy person and I'm scared after transferring to the second school I'll be miserable for not knowing everybody during a year that everyone is already in their groups. Any advice from people who are transfers, went to NYU LSP, went the cheap route and went to their state school, etc. would help. I know that was long and want to thank everyone ahead of time who actually managed to read the whole thing so....thanks!
