So true! With the scholarship he got he’d have the same or slightly less than our in state tuition after obtaining residency. With only $10k until then, it’d be $17k more than in state the first year, a pretty hefty sum… and we live somewhere the cost of living is low (I feel for you in CA!). He was offered an amazing scholarship at another OOS college such that it would cost, at most, the same as in state (and he may get more - he will find out in about a month), so the $10k was very disappointing. But after the first year, if he obtained residency and kept the GPA requirement for the scholarship (which is a high required GPA, especially considering he’s a STEM major - ugh!), it would be an absolute bargain!
