^@momyrock, I’m so sorry. :s Has your daughter read the moon and more?.. then offer it to her dad. :s
OP: yes, talk with your parents. If you really can afford 45K or so, you’ll have lots of possibilities.
There are really LOTS of universities in the US (think if terms of Europe to have an idea of the scale of the US. If each country only has 3 good universities, then you already have 100 top colleges. But in reality, France, Germany, the UK, Spain, have a lot more than 3 top universities, so that in reality over Europe you have 150 universities or so with truly excellent academics… and the US has a concentration of really good to world-class colleges.)
