the question is interesting
I think you will discover that unless your parents are very wealthy, you will end up going to the best college you can afford.
My daughter applied for the FIRST scholarship at NorthEastern, and did not win it, but they offered her a full scholarship ANYWAY
she also applied to several other colleges. One thing to keep in mind, when you look in the college guides they list the tuition, but most places offer partial grants or reduce that price in one way or another.
My daughter ended up getting a partial scholarship (grant) from RIT - it would have cost her about $8,000 a year to goto RIT, and since we live in Rochester, she could live at home
and if she accepted the full scholarship at NEU, she would have to pay about $8,000 a year for a dorm, or to rent an apartment and buy food.
so it was an even tradeoff, money wise. She picked RIT.
I cant over emphasize the importance of applying for FIRST scholarships to every school that offers the degree you are looking to obtain. You never know how things will turn our, and which schools will accept you, or how much money they will offer you.
wiggle the handle on every door you have access to at this point in your life. You will be surprized how many doors will open for you.
