If your family is lowish income, I understand why your mom doesn’t want to visit colleges. If you can’t afford them, there’s no point.
After you get your Oct. SAT scores, start running schools’ Net Price Calculators (each website has one) to see if they’re affordable. You can only borrow ~$5500/year. Unless you qualify for TAP and Pell, or have very high stats, getting enough money to be able to dorm will be a challenge. Apply to Brockport as a safety.
