<p>There are a number of places where you could study for 25k. Use the college-matching search engines to identify places where the tuition and fees for an out-of-state student are 10k or less (so that you have 15k for housing, meals, transportation, books, insurance, etc.), and that offer the major you are thinking of. There are several public universities in Minnesota that would be within that budget, and most of the SUNY system would fit within a total budget of 30k.</p>
