[QUOTE="CoronaBorealis, post: 3882770, member: 43847"] There’s always the pay-your-way method. My wife and I were RAs, which paid for room and board. She had a job that she used to pay for tuition and I did ROTC, which covered tuition. Both of us exited college debt free. Going to junior college to get the basic classes out of the way also helps. English and American history are the same at OU as they are at TCC or OCCC. If she’s a sophomore, there’s still plenty of time for her to work and save up for college as well. Around 20 years ago, a 31 on your ACTgot a full ride to one of the regional universities in OK (SWOSU, Southeastern, East Central, etc). Also the OHLAP if you qualify. [URL='https://www.okhighered.org/okpromise/']Oklahoma's Promise[/URL] Do they know what they want to do after college? If the answer is no, then college isn’t the right choice. I strongly believe college is over rated and diluted in importance in todays world. Engineers, lawyers, doctors…yes. Much else? Probably don’t need a college degree. Vo-techs are a much cheaper, faster option with a real skill they can use. [/QUOTE]
