<p>@Taylor52594 Is the $55K for Co-op at Drexel guaranteed or is it an estimate? Ask yourself the question, would you earn that much in 18 months if you graduated from Purdue, Case or Pitt in 4 Years. Now, you can compare Apples to Apples at least as it relates to money.</p>
<p>Private schools try to match “in-State” fees in order to attract students that would otherwise choose a State school. So Pitt’s $2K should not be taken as pittance. I’d say the cost of education at all these schools seem to be about the same but the quality might vary and you may want to research it a bit more.</p>
<p>Also, don’t write off Purdue, call them and talk to them and see if they will match Case’s offer. You never know. Good Luck!!</p>
