    is this correct?

    "he would probably attend college if he could afford the tuition."

    or is this the better one

    "he would attend college if he could afford the tuition"

    please let me know.

    thanks.

    Gmatz, I am also agree with optimisticsam. When u r using if to provide a condition, no need to use probably to make the sentence more clumsy.

    Correct.

    would = maybe/maybe not = probably

    No need to use similar words.
