<prompt> Human: So this is my first post on reddit- I usually lurk- but I figured the people in this sub would be the best, most unbiased group to ask about this. Basically, I am from Houston, TX, but I went to University of New Mexico my freshman year scholarship for in state tuition because I absolutely love the state, and I had an amazing time and wracked up 5500 in loans. This year, my parents will not be able to help with costs. So I will have to take out a lot more in loans, and really struggle to pay for it. My dads company does offer tuition reimbursement, but that will not apply to housing, which costs just as much as my tuition almost. If I go to University of Houston and commute from home, I could get my entire tuition reimbursed and basically go to college practically for free, and would have less than 10k in debt when I graduate. However, I loved UNM and made amazing friends and living at home depresses me. Houston does have a much better job market though and would be better for internships, but again, I cannot shake my love for Albuquerque.My major is going to be advertising, and maybe a minor in sociology. So, no, not the most lucrative major to constitute graduating from a school with a mediocre rep with like 30k in debt. However, would it be completely impossible for me to pay that off with a salary of someone working in advertising? I just would like yalls opinions regarding going to my desired school and wracking up debt vs. staying at home and commuting but saving money. Thanks!  <response>: This is not even a choice. You must go to UH. The end.
