UMass Boston vs Bentley College?

Question

I despirately want my son to get the best education possible (as any mother would) but financially I am completely strapped. I have the following dilemma........my son was accepted to Bentley (and was offered $18k in financial aide out of the $48K/yr tuition = $30K loans) He was also accepted in UMass Boston's School of Management - Honors Program and has received a full scholarship that covers everything except books........I know that a lot of people put high value on the school name, but the question is..........is it worth acquiring $30K+ of debt a year to send him to Bentley or is it smarter to take the generouse scholarship from UMB?

Answer 1

If money were no issue I'd recommend Bentley, no question. But the UMass program is also very good, and with a full scholarship I don't see any downside. Take the money and run.

Answer 2

UMB is a better choice by far
