<p>best way to save money esp if your not too thrilled about the “college experience” of your first year is to do 2 years at a community college in state and transfer to tech. Looking back I would have saved half of my total costs if I did that and you end up with the same degree from the same institution regardless. On top of that you tend to be much better prepared depending on your learning style.</p>
<p>It’s also much easier to do that route than apply out of high school because it’s competitive. As long as you get around a 3.2 or higher in community college you are good.</p>
