You could also contact a regional Ohio State campus, tell them main is too expensive, but you’d like to be a Buckeye and ask if they would make financial aid offer to you. They are less expensive to begin with and have their own funds for merit aid.
I’d probably only do this if it’s commutable, many kids schedule so they only have to commute 2-3 days a week. If you have to pay for housing, you might as well do that at Miami.
