<p>I’d just like to know how someone can work 25 hours per week <em>and</em> play a sport! My D is working 26 hours a week and manages a team (which means she only has to go to games - not most of the practices!) and even that schedule leaves her practically no time to get her schoolwork done without staying up until all hours! There would be no way for her to work all those hours and also have to go to practice every day after school, that is, if she wanted a decent GPA. I really marvel at a kid who can do it all and would love to know what their secret is! And he has nearly an A plus average (at least, that’s what it would be in our district), and he does marching band too? Whoa.</p>
<p>To get back to the question - if primary concern is low debt load, what’s wrong with his in-state flagship? If it’s not, there are some great recommendations here - I’d second Vanderbilt.</p>
