[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Full tuition at Stanford runs about $45k/year plus another $15k for room and board. There is no way that I or my child would ever spend/borrow $240k for school when there is a free ride at a great school like UMBC. [/quote] Not sure of your exact circumstances, but a fully researched comparison, and not just a cursory one, would include the amount of financial aid from a place like Stanford. The vast majority of Stanford aid is in the form of grants [u]and not loans[/u]. Comparing the headline number of Stanford full cost to "free ride" at UMBC is not a fair comparison in most cases.[/quote]
