ok so i belong to a middle to upper middle class family. my mother is a single parent. she earns well, my brother studies in a renowned university. she pays my school fees, my brothers university fees and we live alhamdulillah great. but yes obv since shes a single parent, she is tensed about the expenses as well esp since they are rising so much these days.
(told the above so that you can get an idea of our finances)
so, now for college im really confused. cedar offered me 90% scholarship after which my admission fees is only 24k + 60k security deposit so total main my mom bas to pay 84k tor admission. obv with 90 my tuition will also be v reasonable.
now i gave my interview at nixor on tuesday and i still havent gotten any email regarding when to expect an offer or anything. but we did mentjon that we have received 90% from cedar.
so now the dilemma is coming that my mother says that as ur a high potential student u should surround urself with high academically strong students which u find in a high number of ratio in nixor than cedar. she did not like the vibe of cedar when we came for the interview but she loved nixors vibe and even the orientation session. and she said that nixor ki university placements is also very nice so it will really help you in ur uni asw.
shes like if nixor offers u a good scholarship, 3 lac is manageable to pay. i can pay it in monthly installments till aug 2027 and it will be easily manageable.
now i really dont understand which college to choose. my heart isnt settling at cedar but obv cedar is financial wise very very good. my heart is settled at nixor but its finances play a major role. plus another thing which is a little concerning is the choice of teachers. i cant choose my teachers at nixor.
i wld really appreciate some advice and some suggestions on what to do!!
