I’m trying to look for more colleges that would be affordable. (My dad is willing and can to pay for the out of state publics but he rather I go to a cheaper school and I kind of agree)
My main safety (and a school that I really like) is Temple bc they guarantee a certain amount of merit aid and thus makes cheaper than even the in states that I’m applying to. If anyone knows colleges with good merit-based programs please let me know. I also don’t want colleges that are too liberal arts based and I don’t want to venture too far away (mostly want to stay in the northeast). Any advice is helpful. Thanks!
