Question about college?
I really want to go to college in the future. But the problem is, I don't know if I will be able to afford it. I don't really know how much it will cost. I'm hoping to got help from scholarships but I know that won't cover that much. My parents aren't like poor but I don't know how much they would be willing to pich in. They haven't really talked anything about it. I want to go to a good college. Everyone around my area usually goes to Middle Tennessee State University, but Anyway I'm hoping to go to a better college and I want to go somewhere out of state. Anyway, what are some good colleges you would suggest and would they be really expensive.

Start doing stuff that would help u get a killer resume, do community service, become school captain, , goin a sports club, get some work experience, get good marks, study hard, do something to the environment, do something great, play an instrument...u have all that in ur resume and more u can get a scholarship that pays for ur whole fee and even Pay you to study there. Harvard, Yale, MIT, Brown, Stanford all the other ivy league schools offer scholarship to 1% of applicants, so make ur application stand out. OR the other option is have Money, which is something u dont have much off so just go get the scholarship

There are lots of good colleges out there, you don't always have to go for the big name. The big name usually costs big money. Remember, if you go out of state to a public college, you have to pay out of state tuition which is MUCH higher than in-state. Once you decide where you want to go, you might first find out how long you need to live there to be considered an in state resident. By moving there and working for a while first, you can save considerable amounts of money on tuition. The danger is that you may get all caught up in work and never go to college (or get around to finishing). It's a double edged sword.

Don't let finances get in the way of getting your undergraduate degree. I'd advise talking to your parents and after you choose a school, going after scholorships and cheap student loans. Your parents will probably help you more than you think they will (if they know you're serious) and state schols are built to be inexpensive and accessible to everyone. Look at it as an investment in your future and be sure to major in something that can help you pay back your loans if you go that route.

Don't let finances stop you from applying to the colleges of your dreams. Sure, have a few backup safety schools. But colleges are looking for diversity--including in terms of geography and socioeconomic class. Top-20 universities don't want their student bodies full of high-scoring robots from East Coast prep schools, and are willing to pay the way for students who couldn't otherwise.
Harvard, Penn, U. of Chicago and Emory are all fine universities that have recently committed to providing full grant money to needy students. Get in there and you may even pay less than to UTK.
