| NU vs. Public school like UW-Madison
Hi everyone, I have been wrangling with a tough decision for quite some time now. I was accepted to NU, the U of Chi, and UW Madison. NU with financial aid and scholarships comes down to about 18k per year, while madison is about 9k (the U of C is about 26k). I was wondering if the prestige and academic reputation of a private school like NU is worth an extra 36k over the course of an undergrad degree. What are the major advantages of a smaller private school? I'm not sure what I'll be doing yet, probably a business program (I got into the business scholars program at Madison). oh, and i've visited all three schools, and the campuses weren't really a big factor any way, i liked all three. thank you |
