Your budget is what your parents can contribute ($15k), + the federal student loan (~$5500/year), + summer work earnings (~$3k), + any merit aid you can get. So you need schools that are in the ~$20k ballpark (so you have enough for travel and books). Run the Net Price Calculators on college websites to see if they’re affordable. And look for the thread for low cost (under $25k for everything) schools.
