Alright, so last year I was accepted into my dream college in California. I went to visit it and I loved it. It's the only place where you can get a degree in positive psychology, the field in psychology that I want to go into. Anyway, due to be completely poor and not sure how to get myself and my two cats to California, and the fact that I had no license yet or an apartment lined up, I had to request a deferral of application. I could only do this once.
So now, a year later, I have luckily been accepted again. I am still completely poor, but I at least have my license now.
So now I am faced with a huge choice. Do I go or not? The problem with goin' is that I'm not sure if I'd be able to afford to live there, let alone move there with my cats. I wouldn't have a job lined up and I'd be goin' there flat broke. There are jobs available on campus, but I don't know if they'd be enough.
Also, the school itself is very expensive. Last time, I was awarded a scholarship that would only cover 13%, which just wasn't enough. I am already in debt from my undergraduate school, and the debt from goin' here would probably put me about $100,000 in debt, if not more. I don't know if I've been awarded any scholarship, but I'm guessin' it won't be much again, if any.
So yeah, I don't know what to do. When I deferred the firs time, I felt as though I had made the biggest mistake of my life, and that I should have gone. However, I just don't know if I can afford it, and if followin' my dreams is really practical. It's a good school, so I should be able to land a good job afterwards to pay back loans, but nothin' is certain.
So now I ask for the opinion of people here. Do I follow my dreams and make a very big risk, or do I stay at home with my parents, possibly goin' to a college here to get a different degree so I can land a job?

cool4 Semok My concern is more about not bein' able to afford it. In other words, I move to California, pay a month's rent, and then can't afford the next month. Then what? xd I'd be stranded on the complete other side of the US with two cats. start selling your limbs? I would if I could. I've been tryin' to see if I can sell my magic cards, but none of 'em are worth much.
