Costs
My efc is around 40k usd.. COL is a factor

Other factors
Warm weather preferably
I really need it to be in my budget thats it
A reputable school in my major if i can get one
NOT a commuter school (most living on campus)

Schools i’m looking at

ASU
PSU, MSU but they can go way above 40k i believe
Purdue would be super dope but it goes to 50k, Im working hard for the SAT

ncsu seems like it would be a good match for you. raleigh is a pretty easy city to live in and the area is growing really quickly in terms of jobs in stem. the engineering program can be tough to get into though, much more than the other schools
