Once she goes past a day’s drive it won’t matter how far south she goes. Do NOT count on any scholarships- her grades are not spectacular.
Ditto on the where she plans to work. Teachers need to meet state requirements and every state has some unique to them. A class in state history/geography is one.
Is it really worth the OOS tuition for an average college in a field one can get an equally good education at an instate college? The urge to leave home territory is understandable but that can be done a bit later.
btw- you live in “New York”. Are you a NYC dweller whose world view forgets that New York state is large and has many opportunities to get away and still be instate? There is a quite different (and nicer in some ways) culture outside of the NYC area. Your D can get hundreds of miles away and get a quality public college education. Why pay more for less? More of her CC college credits are likely to transfer instate as well.
