<p>Are you already currently eligible for instate tuition in Massachusetts? UMass in Amherst or Dartmouth would meet your need to get away from the city to concentrate on your studies, and they would both meet your budget. Tuition and fees are in the 11-12K range, with on-campus living adding another 10k or so. You could reduce those costs by living very frugally off campus in shared housing, which a lot of students do. UMass Amherst in particular is a great school with lot of opportunity in a beautiful college town.</p>
