OP…Perhaps you should look into the NSHE (Nevada State Higher Education) community colleges. UNLV and the other four year NSHE members have articulation agreements so all the two year NSHE member college credits transfer.
Having parents with qualifying incomes but few assets is tough. I worked my way through college with loans and scholarships, but that was many years ago. Today tuition is way too high without a ton of merit aid to work your way through unless you take a low cost option.
Doing well with an instate opportunity and little to no debt will set you up much better than an option that requires significant loans.
Good luck with your decision.
