@JT4815 It does not hurt to ask for more financial aid from your top choice schools. If you end up at Ohio State make sure to attend the Freshman Orientation to meet other students. Look for campus groups or activities that you can join. Many universities provide additional activities to help freshman transition - retention is important to them! Also you could consider Greek life. My DH came from a graduating class of 60 students. He went to a large state school and joined a Fraternity his freshman year. This provided him with an immediate group of friends at school. I understand how overwhelming a large school can seem when you come from a small town, but you will not be alone in this experience many students have come from a small town and been successful at a large school.
