Option A:
attend a school that is two hours away
stay on campus
the school pays for tuition, room, board, and books
you get back a refund of about $800 a semester

Option B:
attend a school that is 40 minutes away
commute to school everyday
the school pays for tuiton and books
you get back a refund of about $1400 a semester

Option C:
attend a school that is 20 minutes away
commute to school everyday
the school pays for tuition and books
you get back a refund of about $600 a semester

Which one would you choose, and why?

C sucks...I'd pick either A or B (mainly because you just get less for C...). Is it more important for you to stay at home or live on campus? What would be the pros and cons for you? Really all it comes down to is living on or off campus. You could always use the refund to pay for an apartment near school.

i would take option A.  mainly cause i dont like to live too close to home, and i had the greatest time living on campus my first couple of years.  i met my best friends in the dorm. sounds like you get more money too if they are paying for room and board....

Yup. I'd choose A as well...for the same reasons.

Ok, ok. A is no longer an option for me. My parents want me to stay close to home. And Option C has changed. So here are my available choices:

Option A:
attend a school that is 40 minutes away
commute to school everyday
the school pays for tuiton and books
you get back a refund of about $1400 a semester

Option B:
attend a school that is 20 minutes away
stay on campus
the school pays for tuition, room, board, and $75 a semester to go toward books
you do not get a refund back
you have to take out a loan to cover the remaining cost of books
