'm with you on not doing the CC route, but his father would not agree, and at a minimum he could get done with some requirements and then finish up elsewhere (maybe where he takes loans and works and pays for it himself). Would be better than nothing. </p>

<p>He can’t borrow much, and that’s a huge problem. His dad may not understand that merit scholarships for transfers are minimal to non-existant. The remaining costs after a transfer award are usually way tooooo much to cover with loans and work-income.</p>
<p>A student can borrow the following amounts:</p>
<p>frosh 5500
soph 6500
jr 7500
sr 7500</p>
<p>The dad needs to understand the difference between getting merit as an incoming frosh is HUGE. He can get free tuition as an incoming frosh. He might only get $1000 as a transfer.</p>
<p>He needs to get his app into Buffalo (the one with eng’g and big merit)</p>
