Stressing out about which college to go to

Ok,

Lets say for kicks and giggles that op get UVM highest scholarship for OOS, which is 18k
Now add his $5920 Pell and his $5500 loan. You are now at $29,400. Tuition is 38160 leaving an $8640 gap in tuition alone. He has no place to sleep and how is he going to eat?

His parents have no $$ to help him. Unless he hits the lotto (it could happen), where is the $$ coming from. We haven’t even gotten into the other incidentals such as health insurance, getting back and forth to Vermont, books, laundry, etc.
