I need to bum advice from y'all.

Well, I live in an apt in Rochester, my parents are 30 miles away, so I am not living at home per say. But I get your point. Another thing is, does anyone have advise for picking a damn school? I am looking through all of the ones I could (potentially) get free tuition to, and I'm going to end up with like 20 schools in the region I'm looking at. I am trying to avoid anything with real strong religious influences as I am not a religious guy, but beyond that, I am screwed.

Any chance that you could visit a few of them before you pick one? Not like orientation or anything, just head down and wander around for a while is what I mean.

I could try a weekend road trip, but application deadlines are hitting up anytime between nowish and mid-March, and money is an issue. I have found 1 that jumped out at me just online from each state. I have 16 schools that look promising, tomorrow I will have my mother look up the tuition exchange stats. (Some schools take very little for the free-ride from their affiliated institutions). the school right here that I got into, only takes <10% of outside applicants, some schools take 75-80%, so that will play a role too.
