<p>You indicated in a previous thread that your parents would cover about $12,500 of the cost, leaving you to self-fund another $12,500 to go to Madison in-state. That tends to be a stretch for a typical college student’s ability to self-fund ($5,500 direct loan plus $7,000 work earnings – most colleges do not assume that a student can earn that much).
