No brainer. Our kid trying to decide between Edi and StA, both over USC which was his best admit in the US, but no merit.[/quote]

[b]No financial aid at USC? Average yearly cost of attendance is $[b]41k. [/b]

I get that most of these examples are made up, but either you have the money and it doesn’t make sense to scrape the barrel for good deals overseas, or you need financial aid and US universities will give you some.

Also 8 APs will be enough for one year of general education credits, if you need to graduate early.

No, USC is one of the most expensive SLACs in the U.S. at $99,918 a year but purposefully allows in that figure only $414 for travel so it won’t go over the critical $100k mark. DCUM readers will all go over $100k a year to attend. Here’s the actual admissions site: https://financialaid.usc.edu/undergraduate-financial-aid/cost-of-attendance/[/quote]

You seem uneducated about college cost in US. That’s the cost of attendance with full tuition price. Not everyone pays that, at USC 66% of the students get financial aid and 20% get merit aid.

As I said, you’re probably lying about your kids USC admission, or you have a lot of money and you don’t need financial aid. In that case it’s sort of dumb to go for Durham instead of USC.[/quote]
