What universities are best to apply to when it comes to price and qualities?

My family has never been the wealthiest, as my mom is the only person in my household who works and we haven't figured out how I might pay off college tuition. I plan to apply to FAFSA and to different scholarships to try to get as much money as I can to help me pay what I can, but because not every scholarship is guaranteed, I'm trying to find universities that are not as pricey as others. I also will probably get a job to cover living expenses and textbooks for courses, but I'm not sure if it will be enough to cover everything. I'm also not sure about what qualities I should look for in each of the universities I am looking to apply to. I know I want some with fair graduation rates and a diverse community, but what else is there to look for? Maybe the size of the campus and the different studies offered are of interest, but I'm not sure what else to look for, and some of the universities I am already interested in may not even accept me or be able to pay for such as UCLA, UC Irvine, or the USC. Because I don't have a specific major selected, I also don't know which academic qualities to specifically look for, but I'm leaning towards a science or medical care related major and whichever place offers studies in those subjects. Over all, I want an affordable university where I can enjoy myself, have a diverse campus, and hopefully find a major that I'm inspired by to pursue.
