 Metropolitan State College ***

recommended for the low tuition and liberal financial aid.
This is where I started my college education. It was cheap, the financial aid covered all expenses and I loved my work study job, drawing bones for the anthropology department. Now on the same campus with University of Colorado at Denver. (read The Amazing True Story of a Teenage Single Mom-- Metro is the happy ending) ---Katherine Arnoldi
