I live in Las Vegas, but my dream is to go to BU. I don't have the most outstanding stats, and it is a hard reach. It is so expensive as well. Should I just try to go to Reno, so I can get in-state tuition?
I would consider going to a school in reno for a couple years and seeing how that goes and then transferring to BU after keeping all the factors in mind (pros and cons of going there)… Another option is to try for BU while keeping a school nearby (in-state) as a safety school and maybe transferring in the coming years
To keep this community safe and supportive:
You can always go to community college and then apply to BU.
