One more thing to help with college costs. What am I supposed to do with a budget?
You should set a budget and stick to it because having a budget will help you compare anticipated college expenses against your potential income and financial aid.
I want to ask about the schools where I can use my resources, is there a way to research a school without going there in person?
Yes, sure. Lots of schools offer virtual tours on their websites. You can see their campus and know more about the school without visiting in person.
