<prompt> Human: I am a currently a senior in high school and am probably going to study Political Science at a four-year university. I want to go to a smaller school that is around 30kyear, but my parents are encouraging me to take out more loans at a larger school. Would it be a wise investment to go to the more expensive school given that it is more renowned? I am scared to take out over 200k in student loans, but think the degree might be worth it.  <response>: Unless you are going to an Ivy league school it is probably not worth it. College is what you make of it.
