I expect that UCONN is FAFSA-only, so you can get a good idea of what UCONN would expect your family to pay by running one of the online FAFSA calculators (there’s one at [FinAid! Financial Aid, College Scholarships and Student Loans](http://www.finaid.org)). Is the 24k you are paying Marist just your family EFC, or did they gap you for financial aid?

24k - 18k = 6k

6k per year for 3 more years (approximately) is 18k - not exactly chump change.

Lots of people transfer every single year to colleges/universities that are going to be less expensive for them. Saving money is a perfectly good reason to transfer.

And, don’t worry about “having” to go to summer school. Lots of folks end up doing that.
