<p>Thanks a lot for the link, outwestmom...I know it will be difficult, but my financial situation definitely wouldn't allow me to be an out of state student at UMich and being over $100,000 in debt doesn't sound too appealing. I really want to get the college experience and go to college far from home, but at the same time not be swamped with repaying student loans for the next 20 years or so. I feel as if I'm missing out on the true college experience by commuting.</p>
