[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Purdue is an excellent school on the hard sciences - engineering and CS.  And not hard on the pocketbook.  My older son graduated from there last year and was immediately picked up to work for Nucor Steel.  He's making probably about $100k a year and has zero debt.  Nucor is very production goal focused so the good years at Nucor are very good years for any production related worker.

We paid less for Purdue (out state) all in than we pay for our second son in state at William and Mary.

No regrets whatsoever.

And it takes only a couple hours to get there.  AA and United have significant service to Indianapolis.[/quote]

Not only is Purdue tuition reasonable for OOS, but housing and food costs are also very reasonable.  It's about 42k all in this year for my engineering  freshman and next year will only be slightly more expensive as he chose a slightly more expensive housing option.  Purdue only costs a bit more and in-state VT for engineering once you add the extra cost for engineering and factor in that VT charges more for housing and food.   [/quote]
