Especially since I'm definitely planning on grad school, it just seems like I should save my money for that.Providing I'd get in then, of course.But we'll see.

Yeah, it's pretty hard getting financial aid, I didn't get any either😕
Well it depends on your major and what you're trying to do, in regards to the connections...honestly, it might not be worth it...and saving up for grad school is definitely a good idea!!
Yes, I was born and raised here😊
