Chance Me Univ South Carolina/Kentucky Honors College [NJ resident, 4.0 GPA, <$25k, nursing]

Congrats to your daughter for CoC honors and other schools she got accepted so far.

The cost for colleges is outrageous high , especially for OOS or private colleges. Fortunately , there are merit aids and need aids to bring it down somewhat. Your daughter has a decent list of school to apply, and I am sure she will choose the one that fit and most “affordable”. If she decides to go to OOS school, you will have to add on the cost of travel (for her and sometimes for your family), health insurance if her health insurance doesn’t cover OOS, and miscellaneous items …

We were in the same boat as you when our oldest daughter applied to college 3 years ago and she ended up in our in-state school. It was cheapest, in term of total cost compare to other schools she applied and accepted to.
