A college-aged student isn't a child, and she doesn't say whether her brother is older or younger. In the US, you can start a degree at a community college and then transfer to a state/private college later. This has the benefit of you paying a lot less in tuition for first-year and gen-ed classes, plus you can often live at home so you save living expenses.
