<p>I’m pretty sure WPI is out for us. We’ll submit financial aid info and see if that bridges the gap, but I’m reluctant to rely on need-based aid because it will change his sophomore year when S1 graduates, and schools seem very reluctant to tell you by how much it will change (even if everything else stayed the same). Right now, UVM and Drexel are very affordable, and Northeastern is doable with some federal student loans (likely only needed until co-op income begins). WPI would be about 12K more than Northeastern – hard to justify. I love the school and their hands-on, project-based approach, but… well, money matters!</p>
