<p>There’s Miami University (Oxford) and the University of Cincinnati. UC is closer (30 minute drive), but I haven’t checked them out because I’ve never heard anything about their education programs. Miami is about an hour drive. But there isn’t really a state school I can commute to, the closest is The Ohio State University, which is maybe 2 hours away? I live in the Greater Cincinnati area.</p>
<p>Why does it cost so much money for room and board? Is there anything that I can really do about that?</p>
