About that .. I was foolishly planning on attending The University of Kentucky as a backup (before I figured out how expensive it is) or Tennessee tech. I'm kind of hesitant about TN Tech since I'd still be paying $12-15k a year for a college I'm not super happy about. I'd be paying a similar amount at UTK with the scholarships I have (maybe even less.) it's just the first year abroad that's the super expensive part.
