Yes.
UA (main campus) is residential.
UAH is mostly STEM (direct to research park it’s in the middle of). UAH has 7,°°° and many go home on weekends.
you could probably go to University of New Mexico for almost free.
$18K Regents scholarship + $15K Amigo scholarship = $33K per year, and their estimated expenses for OOS students is $36K per year.
although, you need a 3.9 and I do not know if they would round up your 3.89 or accept Weighted GPA.
and you need to apply by Dec 1.
To answer your original question: from what I have read on this site, when the NPC says EFC of 30K, that is what they expect u to pay. So if you get merit, the merit comes off the college grants, not your 30K EFC.
Uh, this is the Northeastern thread!
Definitely. If you can get the price of NE down to $15K, it would be worth borrowing money to attend. That would be a great reduction to their COA.
@Floridaball Actually, UAH is growing by leaps and bounds, and it would definitely be categorized as a residential university. I think it still suffers some from old information. It might not have UA’s 80+% students living on campus, but there is a high enough percentage that there are always things to do on weekends and always other students to do them with.
My son is an oos freshman there who only comes home on holidays, and he never lacks for things to do. There are many other oos students as well. The school has placed an emphasis on oos recruiting in recent years, and it is paying off in terms of geographic diversity. As was stated up-thread, they are currently building a new dorm as well as a new fraternity. I don’t think you have to be concerned about the residential aspect. Good luck!
