I'm currently having a dilemma right now where I'm trying to decide if having minimal loans is worth it if it means sacrificing my comfort and happiness. I only applied to one PT school so far, which is in a rural area. I went to my interview a few days ago and did a tour and just didn't feel at home at all. I grew up in the suburbs and go to a college in the city. The only reason I applied to this school was because the tuition was so cheap. But I'm starting to reconsider. There are other schools that I feel I would be more comfortable and happy at, but their tuition is a lot higher than the school I applied to ($45k versus upwards of $130k). Is the high cost in loans worth it? I see many PT's with over 100k in debt and I just want to know if a lot of loans really affects peoples' lives. 3 years is a long time to be in a place where I'm unhappy. I have no loans from undergrad. Any guidance would be appreciated!
