I can't find the right fit...help a desperate, lost senior?

<p>Ok, I’m definitely prepared to work…I’m just worried I won’t get a job…</p>

<p>My dad has confirmed he can afford 12K a year. Not terrible, I guess. </p>

<p>Right now I’m thinking of these as safeties (financially rather than admission-wise):</p>

<p>Grand valley (hopefully honors college. If not…I probably won’t attend)
Michigan Tech. </p>

<p>Kalamazoo - seems really pricey, but they seem to hand out aid pretty well?</p>

<p>So my full list is
UofM, MSU, SUNY-ESF, MichiganTech, Grandvalley, and Kalamazoo…I think that was the exact same as before, haha. </p>

<p>I’m researching Aquinas and U-M dearborn as well. What’s so bad about U-M’s other locations? Any info on that would be helpful, they just don’t seem to be hyped as U-M Ann Arbor. </p>

<p>Also, can anyone comment on Grand Valley (how good a school it is, generally)? It seems to be talked about in a negative light, as I’m talking to my parents anyways. But it seems affordable and I’m pretty certain I can get into the honors program. </p>

<p>The out of states just seemed too pricey, unfortunately.</p>
