<p>*Why would University of Houston be a bad choice to apply to? It’s actually fairly cheap for an out of state college. At least from what I’ve researched. *</p>
<p>Because you’re not an instate student, so the only aid you’ll get is your Pell Grant…about $5k per year.</p>
<p>The cost for UHouston for OOS is about $27k for tuition, room, board and books. </p>
<p>While that might be “cheap” compared to OOS for a UC, how would you pay for that? You’d get about $5k for Pell and about $7500 for a student loan. That’s only $12,500…that’s not even half of the cost.</p>
<p>Nothing is “cheap” if you don’t have the money to pay for it. </p>
<p>And, keep in mind, that once you’re in Pharm school, you won’t qualify for Pell anymore. At that point, you’ll be a “grad student”. you’ll be able to borrow larger amounts.</p>
