Did you get your award letter from Buffalo yet? Pretty sure UB’s tuition is less than that, for this semester OOS tuition + fees total $7456. I see where you’re getting the $13K from (instate COA + $7900) but I’m pretty sure that includes an increase for transportation and other expenses as well…at least I hope they’re not planning to increase tuition for OOS by $5500 in one year! There was a little protest on campus a few weeks ago over fears that tuition would increase by a much smaller amount that that! No telling, with the pending new legislations and the way things are in Albany right now!

As far as name recognition, I’d be surprised if UB isn’t known in most engineering circles as they are part of many national and international projects and research efforts. They may not be well known at the high school level though, particularly in another state.
