Expenses:
Talk to your parents and determine under what
circumstances you would require financial aid. For now, though, don't
automatically eliminate any school because of cost until you've
investigated the financial aid possibilities at that school.
I would need financial aid if a college costs:
Over $10,000 a year
Over $5000 a year
Under $5000 a year
