I want to go to a 4-year university after I graduate from high school, and I want to live in a dorm. The problem is, it costs $8,000 per year to live in a dorm, which is $32,000 total (not including books).
My mom said that she would find a way to pay for my room and board money (the tuition is taken care of with scholarships). She makes about $60,000 a year, though, and $8,000 a year is a lot considering her salary.
I want to live in the dorms really badly, but I hate spending that much of her money, and I wouldn't mind going to a community college first, but I'd prefer a dorm.
Should I go to a community college for the first 2 years and save $16,000 in room and board fees, or should I take advantage of my mom's offer and have fun?
Thank you.
