*Also, parent speaking here…it is just plain not smart to marry in the HOPES it will net you increased financial aid. *

Agreed! That’s a scary thought!!! Remember, if you marry, you’ll likely lose your health insurance if you’re covered thru your parents.

Agreed. And, residency would take a year to establish before going to school.

BTW…are you considering this school because you have a significant other at that school or in that state?

Would you be willing to answer the questions that I put in post #2?
