[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]University of Wisconsin has an excellent business and engineering school. Campus is situated between two lakes and there are tons of outdoor activities. A lot of east coast kids. Football games are a city wide event. Lots of international restaurants and a political vibe due to the state capital. Lots of international students. Very safe city. [/quote]
We loved Wisconsin. [b]Price tag is a kicker, though, and merit aid is sparse[/b].[/quote]

We actually found UW-Mad to be less expensive than many other OOS schools considered --total cost of attendance was around 52/yr and DC was offered 12k in merit which brought it roughly down to the cost of in state at W&M. Didn't opt to attend, but cost seemed reasonable relative to most other OOS flagships.[/quote]

The point being is most OOS publics are not in the 50's.  Most are in the 30's before aid.  [/quote]

I didn't find many well-ranked OOS publics with total cost of attendance in the 30s, Wisconsin was middle of the road and offered some merit aid:
U of M- Ann Arbor: around 63k 
U of CA-Berkeley around 63k
U of VM - 60K
U of Texas-Austin 53k
U of MA-Amherst 50k
U of Iowa-- 46K
U of I-Urbana-Champaign--45k
Pitt--45k

Comparison:
In-state total cost of attendance W&M : 40k   (no merit aid offered to us)
In-state total cost of attendance UVA : 33k  (no merit aid offered to us)
