I wanted to update this topic with where we ended up!
He ended up applying to:
SUNY Potsdam (Crane)
West Chester University
Temple University
University of Hartford
Boston University
He was comfortable teaching in any of those 4 states and they were the schools he liked the best. He got into all the schools!
Final COA for each school including Room and Board and billed fees:
Suny Potsdam $12k/year (We are in-state)
West Chester $10k/year (that said, this was a combination of a LOT of little scholarships, including Honors Program)
Temple $40k/year
U Hart $22k/year
Boston $8k/year and guaranteed to never go up.
He chose Boston as his main goal was the cheapest option!
