Conclusion
I want to go to Oklahoma State University because of their Engineering and Technology Academy. Even though the cost is very high, My plan is to purchase a small apartment a year before I go to school so that I can get the in-state tuition rate which will save me a lot of money in the long run. This way, I will not have to pay for housing in the dorms and will be making an investment towards my future. Community College is the best financial decision, but they do not offer the courses that I am looking for.
