About Greensboro, North Carolina
Greensboro is a city in Guilford County, North Carolina, United States, and its county seat. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the inhabitants of the area that became Greensboro were the Saura, a Siouan-speaking people. Other indigenous cultures had occupied this area for thousands of years, typically settling along the waterways, as did the early settlers. The economy of Greensboro and the Piedmont Triad has traditionally centered around textiles, tobacco, and furniture. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?
Leons Beauty School Inc funds essentially no grants of its own — almost all aid here comes from federal (Pell), state, or outside sources rather than the school's own discount. Its sticker price is what it is.

The payoff is less clear-cut here — weigh the debt against the earnings and your intended field before borrowing heavily.
Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
