<p>Just went to look at the Wheaton cost of attendance because I was surprised a private school could be that low. The estimate COA is $55,166. [Tuition</a> & Fees Admission | Wheaton College](<a href=“http://wheatoncollege.edu/admission/tuition-fees/]Tuition”>http://wheatoncollege.edu/admission/tuition-fees/)</p>
<p>Seems pretty comparable to Bard which in 2011/20912 for first year students with the extra costs of L&T and Citizen Science was $56,962. [Payment</a> Information | Bard](<a href=“http://www.bard.edu/admission/finances/payment.shtml]Payment”>http://www.bard.edu/admission/finances/payment.shtml) </p>
<p>Are you sure you’re comparing apples to apples? Seems to me you’re being offered the same amount at both schools, and Bard would be only slightly more expensive. What am I missing?</p>
