[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cost for Indiana are higher than pitt definitely because of air travel. I just tried to book flights and hotels for admitted students day for IU and it is going to be $1200 just for a two day trip.  Pitt you can drive and only have hotel costs. Multiply that times 4-5 a year.

Also, $63k in posted fees for out-of-state for Pitt all in are higher than what I have. They both all in are at $55k ish. IU gave $3k a year in merit, not much.

There is a rabid IU booster on this board that i wish would just chill out.  [/quote]

I'm the one that posted the $63K. It's for the School of computing and information, which is about $5.5K more than the school of arts. Arts School would be cheaper than IU with no merit. Pitt is one of the schools on our list but is towards the bottom RN because of the higher cost. Hope we get some merit and that changes. IU will get on our list if DC gets into Kelley and gets some merit. Need the merit to offset the PIA associated with accessibility. However, Ohio State and Penn State are clearly on our list where DC got into their preferred programs and the costs are 'better' even without merit aid.

Agree on the cost of travel if you fly. However, don't you think that would be offset by higher housing/food costs once the kid gets past freshman year?[/quote]
