Going to college without a high school education.

I used their net cost calculator and it suggested I would pay around $9000 out of pocket. That might be possible for me by then. And it’s better than Pitt, which gave me a suggested 30k (or close to that) out of pocket should I not get a merit scholarship. Maybe if that ends up to be true, would you recommend I add the school to my list? They have a higher acceptance rate and it looks like they have a program for promoting women in science fields. My only issue would be that it’s in Rochester; but if I was able to survive an upper peninsula winter once, I could survive a Rochester one I think. It would help that I’d be working hard in school.
