Many oboe players do NOT own their own English horns. Some colleges actually have one for use when needed (we know this because we borrowed one for DD before we were able to purchase one for her). DS’s roommate was a music performance major on oboe. She did NOT own her own EH until she was an upperclassman.

Those music parents on the music major forum might have the answer. You might want to post this question there.
