@bester1 Yes, Youngstown State is certainly affordable, with a net cost (per NPC, and not including books and personal expenses) of about $6000 for our family. Cheaper than any of the PASSHE schools. However, I doubt that I can convince my daughter to apply there, now that she’s been accepted to Temple. She’s willing to take full student loans, do work study during the school year, and work 2 jobs in the summer if she has to to afford to go there. We’ll have to see what the financial aid packages look like for Temple and West Chester.
