<p>You also need to sit down with your parents and run the EFC calculators at
[College</a> Calculators - savings calculators - college costs, loans](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>Calculate Your Cost – BigFuture | College Board)

[FinAid</a>! Financial Aid, College Scholarships and Student Loans](<a href=“http://www.finaid.org%5DFinAid”>http://www.finaid.org)
Then you need to talk with them about just exactly how much money will be available for your education, and how much debt they are willing for you to take on. You need to know about the money situation before you go any further.</p>

<p>Michigan has excellent public universities, and a decent community college system that feeds straight into those universities. Your financial safety may well be your local community college. Take time to get to know it.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
