@mommdc My brother has his own income plus federal aid will let him go to Community College. His work has Tuition Reimbursement, so he only has to be able to afford the first year, then use the reimbursement for year 2, and be paid back completely at the end of the next year. He says he has “ways” to let him go to OSU after that. But, he won’t tell what that means so I think that’s him assuring the folks rather than actually having a plan.
EDIT: OSU requires all freshman to live on campus and participate in their meal plans.
