Based on previous comments, the prices are:
Georgia Tech (list price out-of-state): $44,052
Ohio State (with scholarship): under about $24,000 (since it is said to be lower than SUNYs in-state)
Alabama (with scholarship): $15,356
If you can afford any of the above, it seems that the real decision should be one between Georgia Tech and Ohio State, both of which have the student’s intended major, but with Ohio State $20,000 or more per year less expensive. Alabama may be less expensive than Ohio State, but for a family that can afford Georgia Tech at out-of-state list price, giving up the student’s intended major for a poor fit major at Alabama seems to be a poor bargain for the incremental savings of $8,644 or less per year.
