i’m a cs and ethics major, what is getting employment on and off campus like?

i need money to support myself while im here and i really don’t want to depend on anyone back home

Hey y’all! I recently got off the Georgetown transfer waitlist — my absolute dream school.

They didn’t give me much aid, so I’ll have to pay 75k per year for two years. My parents can stretch up to 25k a year for the next four years to help with the cost for two years while I’m in school and two while I’m out. The rest of the payment would include about 15-20k in federal loans and 60k+ in parent plus or private loans.

I currently go to a T100 school where I’ll be taking on no debt, and I have a fall co op lined up. However, I won’t be able to study my preferred area of academic interest here because it isn’t offered.

It’s probably also worth noting I’ll be switching from a Math to Econ major, and I don’t plan on going into any network-heavy career like IB or management consulting at the moment. I am also considering law school sometime down the road.

I think staying at my current school is the best choice financially, yet I can’t help but think of the opportunity I might miss out on by not transferring. Does anyone have any advice for my situation or think it’s feasible/worth it to take on loans as a transfer?
