@01kids03 My comment to this is not really related to Rowan, but is related to good financial choices.
We did not allow our kids to apply to colleges we could not afford to send them. There was no choosing a place that would leave them (and us too) tens of thousands of dollars in debt.

I don’t know anything about your $$ life, nor do I need to know. I’m just advising you put together a spreadsheet. Go to a place like collegedata and look at each colleges cost of attendance. Add in any costs, like flights, then subtract your scholarships from each. THEN decide the top choices. I assume you have a set amount of money you can contribute each year. Please consider the overall cost from a 30,000 foot view. Go over to the Financial Aid and Scholarships forum and read some of those threads - they are eye opening.

I work with a large number of mid 20 to mid 30 year olds - engineers, professionals making good salaries and absolutely saddled with monthly payments. It is very restrictive to carry even $20,000 of debt.

Best of luck!
