<p>Cost of Attendance for engineering at the following:</p>
<p>Minnesota: $27,358
Iowa: $36,649
UIUC: $31,810 (incl $3500/yr Eng.surcharge as compared to other UIUC colleges)
Purdue: $39,492
Michigan: $48,331</p>
<p>We reside in Illinois. My son got into engineering at all of the schools above except MI where he is deferred—MI sends out decisions for deferred in April but that tuition is out of our reach. (Have a second child going to college in two years). Iowa is giving my son merit/scholarship $ to end up cheaper than UIUC.</p>
