Taking a semester off but four-year tuition scholarship or pay thru the nose and start in fall?

Question

I was accepted to BYU (don't hate, I really like it) but was given the run around with my housing. I was never given a date to select a room and it may be too late. However, if I were to go to Utah Valley University I would recieve four-year tuition scholarship. If I stuck with BYU I would have to try and get off-campus housing which is only more money that I DO NOT have. If I choose UVU I would have to wait and apply this spring but would get all my tuition paid for. I am at a big loss for what to do. Help! Anyone!

Answer 1

Take a semester off and go to UVU.  You will appreciate not having student loans when you graduate!

During your semester off you can get a lot of things done, you can save money for school, you can start to write a novel, you can research any subject that interests you.....Just don't lose focus and be sure to start college in January.

Good luck!
