<p>You can apply to other schools and see if you get scholarships, but IMO you ought to take the huge scholarship you’ve already been offered at OSU. OSU is a great school–much more highly rated than Cleveland State or DeVry. Columbus isn’t that far from Cleveland–only a couple hours. If you wanted to visit your family some weekend, it wouldn’t be hard to find someone going to Cleveland to share a ride with. If you and your parents don’t have a lot of money to pay for another school, stay with the great deal you already have. You are very fortunate and it seems unlikely that you could find a better deal (you might get a scholarship for full tuition somewhere else, but that won’t pay room/board). Does OSU require freshmen to live in dorms? Why don’t you want to live in a dorm? If you don’t like the huge Columbus campus, would your scholarship allow you start at one of the smaller OSU branch campuses?</p>
