[quote=Anonymous]Thank you all.  I am taking note of all the advice here.

We are in MD.  UMD (and now also UMBC) is included on my list.   We can easily afford full in-state cost even without merit aid, but if it is OOS then we do have a budget. Our income is donut hole, but we also have other obligations (relatives) that we contribute towards so it is not that we can afford any school without taking out loans. Thank you for the reality check.

Location will also matter in terms of the airfare and travel costs for our child and also for us. If he stays in-state, he can also continue with his medical providers. So the OOS college really has to offer  advantages to him that are superior to what UMD (or UMBC) can offer in terms of career and education.  I am happy that the state schools are setting an impressive high bar. At least that is my perspective.

I understand now what other PPs said about letting him drive the process, because, I am more interested in his education, career, safety and convenience.  I hope in his list  he will put more emphasis on where he will feel more happy and content.
