I live in New Orleans and unfortunately price plays a huge role into where I go to college. Although due to financial aid and merit scholarships, many colleges will cover full tuition. Despite this, I cannot afford room and board and will most likely attend in state at a Louisiana college, so I will have somewhere to live during the summer months. I'm not attending a community college, but I'm also not attending the "best" school in my state (Tulane) because of crazy tuition costs. I scored in the 90th percentile for ACT and my gpa is a 3.85/4.00. Should I feel ashamed that I'm not attending a super "prestigious" college for undergrad? I plan to get my masters as well, but I heard I should feel accomplished to be able to attend any private college with a full scholarship. Thoughts?
