Also, if you’re worried about money, be a great resident your freshman year, get to know your RA, join hall council, get involved, then apply to be an RA your sophomore years. If you’re an RA, you get room and board paid for, plus a little extra in salary, and you could do it for all of your remaining years if you need. Just talk to your RA about it (if you’re on hall council, you’ll meet the assistant resident director, so chum up to him/her and tell them your situaation) and tell them you want to be RA and ask what will make you the best possible candidate. Once room and board are out of the way, the price is a lot easier to handle.
