Now, I know what you think: Can’t you figure that out by looking at their published tuition and fees? Yes I can, but I am talking about the “hidden cost” (other than tuition, room & board, standard technology & health fees) - say, there is a SIMILAR summer program, an out-of-state field trip or a competition you need stay overnight at a hotel, would either school subsidize and you end up paying less? What about laundry, books & supplies, general allowance spending, are they different at both schools? I am trying to come up with a budge. I am hoping to get some info from the parents whose children are attending either of these schools, but knowing that no one can be in both schools I think it may not be realistic to have a good comparison? Anyway, I’d appreciate some/any input.
