<p>Sounds like you’re not looking(much) at athletic scholarship, given D2 or D3. thats fine.
As MizzBee first said, unless cost is no object, then student needs to know in advance how much parents are willing/able to chip in toward costs. Sad story when parent doesn’t give kid advance guideline, then he finds school for far more money than parents wanted/expected. I am not sure this student is independent of parents, or that he is an adult. Most students this age still expect parents to pay all or most of college costs, and that is neither independent nor an adult(yet).</p>
