[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Full pay for Top 20 schools is pretty consistent. They’re all private schools and around $80k, all-in. Go a little further down the pecking order and there are a few public schools. If you’re out-of-state, they will be slightly cheaper than the privates, but still around $65-$70k. Of course, if you’re in-state for any of these, the price is closer to $30k. These publics include Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, and UVA. [/quote]

The gap is even bigger than 30k-80k because you can’t live off-campus to save money at SLACs. [/quote]

Does living off campus generally save money? I had friends in college who did it, but rent + utilities + furniture + parking seemed to be just as expensive or moreso and way less convenient.[/quote]

Yes. You can get furniture from goodwill, walk/bike/bus, turn the heat down in the warm weather and eat rice and beans.

In other words, you can control your expenses off-campus. [/quote]

Depending on the market, price of a rental may rival or exceed the on-campus housing cost. That said, I attended a SLAC, which only allowed 50 students to live off campus senior year via lottery unless their family lived within 50 miles of campus. Def saved money for those 50 and that is why a lot push to do it. [/quote]
