One other thing that is a good practice I have seen, Is to start at community college for 2 years or so and finish at the one you want for the last two. Takes a little more planning and forethought, but it will save you a lot of money, get you the degree from the school you want, and the change of scenery can be nice for some people... I suggested that my wife's oldest son do this but he opted to go to Portland State instead, and he dropped out after the first year because of costs....and boredom as I already discussed.
