Should I even bother leaving my state for college?

<p>We also don’t know the financial situation of the OP. ACM schools work well for students who can pay the full instate COA. They don’t work well for students who need a lot of aid. </p>

<p>Even tho you’re given instate rates, you’re not treated as an instate student FA wise. You don’t get state aid, and your school isn’t going to give you extra grants that they would normally give their instate rates. </p>

<p>Also, ACM students are also not eligible for merit scholarships.</p>
