as for the wisconsin statement - i have a few friends that go to UW-Madison and have shown me how lively the surrounding area is.
Rochester $35K tuition is all in, including room and board.
I haven’t received any cost info from Wisconsin and UMass yet (FAFSA delay), but after running it in the net price calc, UMass comes out to 34K per year. I cannot say for certain what Wisconsin is because I haven’t received any scholarship info yet.
Cost isn’t an issue for us; I’m trying to focus on what the best school is for my intended majors (CS, BME, potential pre-dental)
To be honest, you haven’t really given me a solid answer. I know my question is complicated as there are many factors that go into it, but you’ve really just spit back already known information.
