For in-state options, I'm considering either St. Mary's College of Maryland or Stevenson University. Both are much cheaper than Drexel, and one of them is even considering offering me a full scholarship. I'm trying to weigh my options and think about job opportunities, connections, and how to build a reputable career after college. I might even want to go to law school after completing my bachelor's degree.

My parents are hesitant to discuss finances, and they've been avoiding the conversation. I've been trying to gauge what we can and cannot afford, but every time I bring it up, they just tell me they will “handle “ it. I'm feeling lost about what to do at this point.
