The actual campus wasn’t mentioned until post 9 because I didn’t remember from your previous thread that it wasn’t University Park. Whenever someone says “Penn State” but doesn’t specify a campus, they usually mean UP, so I assumed that was the case. That’s the source of the confusion – just a misunderstanding due to missing info.
If your family’s annual income is $17k then I don’t think Penn State will be possible. One year at a branch campus costs more than that, and one year at main campus costs about 2.5 times that.
