Study what you want, you will only get this one chance to be a college girl.
Graduating in debt isn't that bad, look up the average debt of students that graduate from your school. If you're within 1 standard deviation, I think you should be fine.
Take my advice with a pinch of salt however because I know that I'll be leaving all my schooling with a minimum of $150,000 debt.
I think i'm going to try and whip through this. I've never been excited for college, so i'm actually ecstatic that i can get out of here sooner...the only thing holding me back is if it hurts my chances for grad school.
It's much cheaper to study what you want now and end up in a little debt (it could be much worse than 15k) than to realize later that you hate what you do and have to go back for a full four years to get into what you want. Take the risks while you're young.
But if it helps you get into grad school it's not lollygagging. If you think the program will help you later in life, do it. If you don't think it's really worth it, don't. I'm sure that whatever you do you'll be fine.

I'm paying $40,000 a year to go to Pepperdine, and I couldn't be happier. Don't let money's threat scare you from living the life you want.

Yeah, but it'd be really nice to be debt free.
