and if anybody has any other suggestions for colleges that would be appreciated</p>

<p>Thats me in a nutshell. As for colleges, I'm really looking for any college, in state and out of state, that can give me the full experience. I'm not sure what my combined household income is but it can't be much considering the fact that my brother who is going to VCU in the fall is practically getting a full ride. The tuition/financial aid is a big factor for me as I'm trying to reduce the financial strain on my family as much as possible. If I had to state a preference, I'd go with an urban college but thats not completely stringent. Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>NYU-if you’re looking to not be a financial burden, don’t pick here…its expensive and a bit too high of a reach for you
VaTech-more of a match to reach kinda school. Again, you prob won’t get a lot of money</p>

<p>As far as suggestions, why not look at UPitt or a SUNY? You’d get more money probably and have a MUCH easier time getting in</p>
