Keep in mind that you can only borrow the following amounts during your 4 years of college w/o a co-signer…5500, 6500, 7500, 7500. So, about $27k. For you to borrow more would require your parents to co-sign a loan or take a Plus loan.

Alabama has a good B school and a good College of Engineering. It would be affordable for you. The OOS COA ranges from about $30k-34k depending on the housing you choose.

The campus is gorgeous, the academics are strong, and the spirit is high. [The University of Alabama](http://ua.edu/)

Bama actually has a decent number of Mich students.

You could get into the Honors College which only looks at test scores. Your current ACT is high enough, but if you were to raise your ACT or SAT, you might get some scholarship money, altho your GPA might prevent $$$.

Bama has recently completed 2 phases of its new Shelby Science and Engineering Complex. It’s huge, gorgeous, and has fab new labs and classrooms. Phase III is currently being built.
