Do the dollars
make SENSE?

"To an extent, finances were a worry. I wouldn’t pay for housing and I knew I could get loans. I just had to make it work, college wasn’t negotiable. I only applied to UW-Green Bay and had no idea how much it would cost until after I applied, but after seeing how much other colleges cost, I’m glad I picked UW-Green Bay.”
