After initially deciding against Alabama, now I'm considering it again

$20k extra per year? That’s the cost of attendance at many in-state schools. Split the difference with your parents and you’d suddenly have $40k for a down payment on a house.

1. You can decide to attend UA up until May 1st. 2 and 3. You might not get honors suite-style housing right away. It sounds like you're NMF, which means that UA may have a prereserved space for you in a suite-style residence hall.

2. You'll be eligible for some federal loans. If you're eligible for Federal Work Study and all such funds are already distributed to other students, you may be placed on a waiting list.

If you do decide to attend UA, think of it as your fist choice school. Remember that you’ve only experienced a small part of the total UA experience; the best parts of the UA experience are saved for current students and alumni.
