Is Chicago actually affordable?

Yes, I did consider the transfer route, but I was a bit deterred by two things:

1) There’s no certainty that I will get back in to Chicago as a transfer student seeing as admissions are harder for transfers.
2) The things that I dislike most about Boulder (the large gen ed classes, etc.) would be during those first years. So at that point, I’d mostly just have the classes for my major left to complete. As a probable science major, those classes wouldn’t be much different at Chicago vs. Boulder. It’s the liberal arts that I want out of Chciago, not the final two years and the degree.

But yes, I am still considering transferring schools at some point to save money.
