For Oregon State specifically, one way that students can reduce costs is through the Degree Partnership Program (DPP). OSU charges tuition by the credit unit, so it is possible to significantly reduce costs using the DPP, and I have heard from other parents that it is a very helpful and flexible option. Students living at the main campus in Corvallis can take on-campus classes at Linn-Benton Community College along with their classes at OSU. Students are eligible to live in OSU residence halls and use OSU services even if they are taking all their classes at community college that term.
