<prompt> Human: I was accepted to Drexel, which costs 67k a year. I got annually 25k a year, bringing the cost down to 42. My FAFSA has not been reviewed, however my EFC according to it is about 45. This would not be feasible, and I dont know why it is so high. Will given merit be considered when looking at my Need based aid, and what can I do to bring the cost down to be able to afford college?  <response>: Drexel is great school. Just like a Ferrari is a great car. Could I take loans out and get Ferrari , sure! Will I.. no! Leaving college with 200k in debt is frankly robbery. Ive worked at a few multi-billion dollar companies and not once have I heard of someone attributing their success to the college they went to. In fact majority complain about how college didnt prepare them for the actual working world. Go to an affordable school and put effort into getting solid internships. That my friend is how you win life.
