Here’s something to think about. If you can afford an exotic school right now, that might not be true in 4 years. You’ll be surprised how often students at these universities transfer home because of costs. A layoff, business failure, etc. destroys EVERYTHING. If you go out of state, it’s best to do it on a scholarship. That’s guaranteed money, in writing, for 4 years. The most you can take out in student loans is $27k for a 4 year degree. Student loans are always higher than projected. Right now, Bingamton, and FSU are the only 2 places that are affordable.

Seriously, if you only have to take out 3k a year at FSU, that’s golden!
