I'll make it quick.
>accepted to Penn State (the real campus) back in August after being NEET for 2.5 years
>defer to spring semester because it was extremely short notice
>spring semester starts next month
>receive room and bill tonight
>$14,072 for only the spring semester
>they didn't accept my sweet ~$2,500 in financial aid because I applied too late
>didn't get single room and roommate is asian normalfag, sent an email explaining how i'm very uncomfortable with this
>planned on majoring in electrical engineering, realizing that my math skills at least right now are fairly lame to what they used to be and have been placed in their College Algebra class and will have to take two semesters of maths before I can actually take Calculus 1

on the bright side
>grandma basically agreed to pay for the entire thing for at least a couple of years ONLY if it's this exact university and I go for this spring as she will otherwise give it to the next grandson on the list that wants the freedom of debt
>have been a NEET for 2.5 years so far, was accepted by sort of crafty means that I won't go into(i am a white male and have no money), have GED, basically should not have actually been accepted and sort of lucky

Would I be an idiot to not just do it? I've already spent the ENTIRETY of 2015 researching universities, telling my mother that I'm going to university any month now(planned on attending a community college on a quarter system out of state just so that I could move out, planned on using loans but was not eligible and plan fell apart). This is really my chance if I ever had one, but am I being delusional on whether or not this is actually a good idea? I would hopefully be given some financial aid next semester to bring down the cost to maybe ~$9,000 a semester. I really have no idea.

It doesn't seem like you have any better options. It's pretty hard to find a debt-free college kid these days, so I would take the opportunity and run with it.

Hey, fellow PA fag here.

Fucking do it are you insane.

If you live in PA, having a PSU degree is the best advantage you can have over other college normies, and you're going to have 2-3 years of debt knocked off on top of it. My uncle is a financial planer who graduated from there. Of the many people he works with, some of those are people who hire for companies, and he said that if it came down to a choice between close applicants, the PSU stamp almost always wins. It's just a thing here in PA, though.

I'm planning on transferring to the Berks campus in an year or two because I've been told they have a great physics team there, and if I can get food recommendations, it will. Make grad school that much easier.
