So... I'm having trouble deciding where to go for college and what to do when I get there... So i'm gonna give you the pros and cons of each and you can tell me what you think... ok?... ok!



King College


Location: Bristol, Tennessee/Bristol, Virginia (the campus in on the line)


Type: Private/Christian


Tuition: $17,680


Room and Board: $5,720


Total (before books): $23,400


Scholarships: Academic- $8,000,Whitehead foundation scholarship- $840, Lottery scholarship- $3,300  Total: $12,140


Loans: $12,000


Pros: Somewhere new and exciting. Beautiful and small campus in the mountains of Tennessee and Virginia. Christian atmosphere. 


Cons: Away from family and friends. Not as much security. ALOT of money in loans that will have to be payed back after I graduate.



MTSU


Location:... a duh... Here.


Type: State School


Tuition: $2,258


Room and board: live at home


Scholarships: Lottery-$3,300 (so far 2 more are pending)


Loans: none needed


Pros: HOME! A whole bunch cheaper. No loans to pay off. Friends an family. Comfort and security.


Cons: Same ol' same ol'. It's really difficult to get into the nursing academy. GIGANTIC campus with ZERO parking.



Well it seems pretty obvious I suppose where "logically" I should go. But I am still unsure.
