Out of state students' financial situations part 2

Sabrina Ferraro is a full-time student at Michigan State from California. She is a dietetics major and came for the program at MSU.

"I wanted a big school with big sports and a good education. Although it's expensive, I've found a way to make it work," Ferraro said.

Ferraro received the University Scholars Award due to her ACT scores and GPA from high school, along with a scholarship through her major. She also works as a student worker in the dining halls on campus.

Her job allows her to pay for food and some of her rent, while she takes out loans on classes.

"I make above minimum wage, which helps a lot," Ferraro laughed.

Even though out-of-state tuition is a lot of money, Ferraro said that she wouldn't have it any other way and that she loves this university.
