I'm starting the college search and cost is a big concern for my family. Could someone provide some recommendations for public colleges that aren't too expensive and are easier to get into?
Sure, I'd be happy to provide some insight. While every college has its own specific admission criteria, public universities often have lower tuition rates and offer a wide range of programs that might be a good match for you. Here are a few possibilities:
1. University of Colorado Denver:.They have a wide range of undergraduate programs, including Business, Nursing, and Engineering.
2. University of Nevada, Reno: Another public university that offer diverse programs such as Journalism, Business, and Medicine.
3. Oregon State University: This is a larger public university with a large variety of undergraduate programs in sciences and humanities.
4. West Virginia University: They offer a wide range of undergraduate programs.
Remember, the net cost can be lower than the listed tuition due to financial aid and scholarships, so I would recommend using each school's Net Price Calculator to get a more accurate picture of the cost. Lastly, make sure that the institutions you're considering have strong programs in your area of interest.
