<p>The school that I want to go to is about $3000 more than the one in state, and my parents do not want me to live on campus at the one closeby, so I would commuting from home. If I moved out to go to the other school, I would also be commuting because a friend in that state has offered to let me live there to avoid the high costs of room and board. I have been applying for as many scholarships as I can, and money will still be an issue, yes, but it would still be an issue even if I went to the school nearby. </p>
<p>The school nearby seems to mainly be a military sort of school, and when I have tried to talk to them about the program I want to go into, they don’t exactly have much to say, and yes I’ve looked it up on the website. I don’t know if I have the creditials for a merit-based scholarship, but I have been looking up good scholarships that I can apply for. </p>
<p>I don’t really want to leave just for leavings sake, I’ve never wanted to go to the school closeby, because I feel like it wouldn’t give me the education or surroundings that I’m looking for. I’m actually going to talk to my mom tomorrow about the cost issue, and try to reason it out with her. </p>
<p>Thank you for the advice! </p>
