OP turned down a full scholarship. I think this is a huge mistake. Going to school -- even a state school -- on full scholarship is one of the best experiences in life.
I did it. It was worth every cent I didn't pay, but it was also worth my time. There's not a lot of opportunity cost for starting white-collar adult life at 22 vs. 20, but there's a hell of a lot of benefit of a university as a platform to develop yourself when your brain is running at full capacity.
