It can be done, if you are willing to do Community College and then head to a state university to finish up. We asked our friend's daughter, who was choosing which college to attend about going to a local state university. She replied, "what do I tell my friends?" as in it was beneath her. Which was funny as both her parents went to state universities.
- JohnFen 4y agoThat depends on where you are, I think. Community colleges are certainly less expensive, but they are very expensive nonetheless. And state colleges are often not much cheaper than others. The cost of education across the board has risen to an insane level, well above the rate of inflation.
