He is saying that his costs for Syracuse once Yellow Ribbon is applied is $27,000 a year. Perhaps he can clarify, but that is what was written.
I agree with @Blossom. I think this student needs to look at all of their resources and figure out exactly how much they can fund themselves for college. Syracuse is a costly university…and might just be out of reach financially.
In my opinion, the first college every student needs to find is one they like, would be happy to attend, have a very strong chance of acceptance, and is affordable. Then build the list up from there.
There are lots of universities similar in size to Syracuse, with beautiful campuses that might be more affordable.
