Transportation in a big city--will I need a car?

Is having student debt worth it?
I'm asking because I am wondering if someone decided to go to a more expensive school rather than a cheaper school with the same amenities- basically everything is the same, except the name of the school. I am currently trying to decide whether being in debt from school is worth it because I fell in love with an expensive school but would have to take out a huge loan in order to attend. I'm just seeking advice and interested in hearing what others have done. #college-selection #college-advice #college-bound

Which college should I go to?
I am deciding between Harding University and the University of Alabama. Harding is smaller and farther away, but it simply feels like home and I know a lot of people there that would make my college experience more fun and comfortable. My best friend and brother go there as well. However, there is nothing to do, which bothers me. There is also a strict dress code and curfew. The University of Alabama is much bigger but closer to home. Both of my parents attended UA. I would know very few people there, but there is a lot to do. But, the main thing to do there seems to be just partying and drinking, which I have no interest in. I know Harding will help me grow spiritually and I will have a more personal relationship with my professors, which will help with recommendation letters for grad school. But at Bama, I would have the opportunity to possibly make more meaningful connections with better-known names. Plus, football!

What ways are there to improve the chance of receiving a scholarship to pay for school?
One of my tops schools has a high priced tuition. The most likely way I would be able to go to that school is if I earn one of their scholarships such as their Presidential Scholarship. It requires an essay and then a half an hour interview in January so I was wondering if there was any way I could prepare for the interview. I am prepared to work hard for this and I'm looking for ideas to improve my chance of earning this. #scholarships #interviews #college #college-advice #college-admissions #college-bound #college-prep #college-interviews
Gen Eds before 4-year?
My mother is imploring me to get my Gen Eds out of the way at the local community college, then move on to a 4-year institution. But, I truly wish to go straight to a 4-year school, despite the higher cost. Economically, I'm aware that the local school is the right way to go, but I desire to move and gain my independence as a young adult. #college #money #college-bound #college-advice
Is it better to audition with dancing or without dancing?
I am looking to apply to several colleges for musical theater, but I am not the best dancer. I can sort of follow a choreographer, but I'm not as precise as many other people and I'm afraid that my dancing may be the make or break point for accepting me into their university. One of my closest friends who did get into a college for musical theater did tell me that they start you from the basics anyways in college, regardless of how well or how bad you did at the auditions, and that they just want to see potential for growth. 1) Is that true? And 2) is it better for me to audition for a college that only requires my stronger points (which is singing and acting) or to a college that I may not get into because someone is a better dancer than me? Also, how big of a part does the interview play? Is it a major deciding factor? Is it often that the acceptance team will like a person so much that they would disregard a specific lack of something? Much advice is appreciated! #musical-theatre #college #college-admissions #college-major #college-bound #dance #music #acting
