No, the difference in cost of attendance, when taking room and board, books, insurance, transportation and entertainment cost, does not fluctuate too much within the same university. There could be a difference of $5,000 or so at Cornell, but when the total cost of attendance is over $45,000 anyway, I don’t think $5,000 makes too much of a difference. As a rule, most good public universities cost anywhere between $30,000-$45,000/year and most good private universities cost between $40,000 and $55,000/year. That includes room and board, flights home twice a year, books, insurance, entertainment costs etc… It does not, however, include possible financial aid and scholarships that some universities offer international students.
