[quote=Anonymous][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] OP did not indicate that Stanford offered any financial aid so I would assume that none was offered. Why mention the full ride from UMBC but not mention any aid from Stanford? In any case, it's not going to be any less expensive than free.[/quote]
