Also, cost constraints and state of residency?

4

Does “all the way to the midwest” mean the west coast is not an option?

@ucbalumnus No real cost constraints, New York

@PengsPhils I would rather not because of the cost of flights but I’m not totally ruling it out.

Cost of airline flights (assuming that you are not flying international first class) is relatively small compared to the difference in cost of college (e.g. compare New York University to Stony Brook University). If cost of airline flights is a concern, then you should talk to your parents about what your actual college cost constraints are, and consider that colleges with more expensive airline flights need to be held to a slightly lower cost limit.

What’s your EFC? Can your parents pay it?
