<p>Aside from going to a school with a GPA/SAT(or ACT) automatic scholarship, and for which you can afford the balance, the best you can do is community college. As others mentioned, the education and professors will likely be the same or even better than your in-state universities. It’s a great way to have an affordable two years.</p>
