<p>Jesus, I plainly stated that I was comparing TUITION ONLY! TUITION ONLY for both schools. IU’s website lists their in-state TUITION ONLY at $8124/year. Miami’s website clearly lists their in-state TUITION ONLY at 12,200 and out of state TUITION ONLY at $27,000.</p>
<p>If you want to use the higher total of TUITION, ROOM AND BOARD for IU (or the other Big Ten schools), then you need to do the same for Miami of Ohio to make an even comparison. Perhaps Miami of Ohio’s room and board is such a great bargain that it negates their much higher TUITION. I’ll leave that to you to find out, since I don’t possess the necessary reading skills.</p>
<p>I will thank you for so ably demonstrating to any potential parents or students reading this thread the almost Taliban like fanaticism of the Miami of Ohio mindset–complete with personal insults and snide comments about “reading skills.” One which is incapable of processing any numbers, facts or rankings that doesn’t support the preconceived notion that Miami is just the gosh-golly, bestest public university this country has ever seen.</p>
