<p>A number of your schools cost a great deal more than $20,000/year you quoted earlier - Ithaca, NYU, BOCO, AMDA and CMU are all close to or over $50,000/year with tuition, room and board. I know that US university prices can cause some sticker shock for Canadians who pay a fraction of the cost for higher education (I know - I am one…). Good-luck as you sort through your options and work out the college app process - it can be a daunting task.</p>
