Hey everyone, I’m actually gonna ask for some advice on tuition so if any of y’all mind giving me advice if you’re in a similar situation and have found a way around it that’d be greeeeeat.
So UR is my top choice for sure. I love it and am super excited to have been accepted, but of course being a private school (a rather expensive one at that), in-state tuition doesn’t apply. I know that Richmond meets 100% of demonstrated need, but being from Northern Virginia I (naturally) didn’t receive any aid, even though 60k a year isn’t even remotely feasible for me due to housing prices, cost of living around DC, etc. I didn’t receive any scholarships from the University and coming up with enough for it to be even slightly feasible between now and the beginning of the fall semester just won’t be able to happen. I’m not willing to put myself in $200,000+ of debt as a fresh college graduate, as I’m sure anyone can understand.
VT Honors is fine and good, but I LOVE Richmond, and I’m sure that I’m not the only one with this problem. If any of y’all have found a way to make Richmond possible under similar circumstances please help me!
