Your UVA numbers are wrong:

First year engineering UVA: $39,772
Second year engineering UVA: $38,772
Third and Fourth year engineering: $37,742


What that means is that prices are rising. When this year's first years are second years, they won't be paying less than they are currently.

How did you choose room cost? My DC is at Purdue and the cost of the dorms changes dramatically based on which dorm.

OP: I have a senior and a sophomore in high school, and we looked high and low at a range of schools.

We liked UWash (Seattle), UMich, UGA, Pitt, VTech.

However, in the end, my DD will likely attend a private who gave her significant merit aid (and checked all of her boxes).

UWash, UMich are very expensive OOS.

UGA and UPitt have her a lot of merit aid as well to make it competitive cost-wise.

What about Oregon?

My DD is graduating this semester from UIUC and absolutely loves the school. She will be attending grad school in the fall and is truly going to miss it.

My numbers are not wrong because you cant't read. I told you I excluded certain fees (personal, book, travel) but you included them. Let us try this gain.

Tuition 20,434
Fees 2,970
Housing 6,720
Dining 5,230
Subtotal 35,354 (my total)
Books 1,384
Personal 2,552
Loan Fees 72
Travel 410
Total 39,772 (your total)

Are we clear now?

As someone else posted, UVA tuition is $40K per year in 2019-2020 for engineering. High stats kids can get merit aid OOS. UVA gives very little to no merit aid.

For in-state??????

VIRGINIAN: $39,772

https://sfs.virginia.edu/cost/19-20

That is ONLY for specific programs - Rx 3rd and 4th year in biz school is $40 k.

Wrong. https://admissions.umd.edu/finance/differential-tuition

$2800 per semester is not that big of difference for UMD. Still a value.

Agreed.

And, unless your kid is one of the few who qualifies as in-state for both it really doesn't matter.

UMD additional fees.
Students enrolled in the Robert H. Smith School of Business, the A. James Clark School of Engineering or who are declared majors in the Department of Computer Science will be charged differential tuition.

The breakdown of differential tuition charges for the 2018-2019 academic year is as follows:

Full-time: $2,800 or $1,400 per semester
Part-time: $116 per credit

I too would like to hear more about U of Oregon.

Has someone visited Colorado- Boulder or Colorado State? I am familiar with the previous threads on pot, rich kids and skiing. If someone can contribute beyond those topics, TIA

It is good that these additional fees are only for 4 semesters.

No, we're not.

Why would you exclude these costs? BTW, these are conservative estimates by the school. Even when you move off-campus, those costs are rising along with COL in Charlottesville. Books are expensive - its the one thing that still hasn't been disrupted after all these years.

We visited Boulder. We loved it while we were there. Less so when our child only got accepted into pre-engineering. The engineering school has been changing their admissions policy so that most kids are in something called "preengineering" - the conversion rate, at least as far as I could gather, was only about 25%. This didn't seem like a good option for our family, at all.
