Overwhelmed in Texas

classicalbk, that is a good question. We shall be asking the schools here that one - thanks for the tip!

I wish that out of state tuition did not make most state schools prohibitive (barring an almost full ride scholarship which I’m not counting on) because some of the state schools in other states have some really really nice programs. sigh One thing I am thinking is possibly, if she stayed here and went to her safety, she could pretty much get out with zero loans - then she could go on and get her masters elsewhere and Texas has a better tuition reciprocity agreement for graduate schools, and I would not object so much to some loans for a graduate degree. (for obvious reasons, I have severe misgivings of the wisdom of loans taken out for undergrad degree in liberal arts for a child from a family who could not help her with those debts :-/ )

edit to add: hey, do they pay good? I might move to Indiana and work for them - I’m an extremely advanced seamstress myself and have costumed as a volunteer for the past 7 community theater productions here (that might be where she gets it from) Costuming is FUN.
