I’ll speak about Drexel - $17,000 leaves you with about $30,000 to pay for your first year. I know with my son’s merit aid, the amount stays the same for every year as long as you keep a 3.0 average and the co-op experience helps bring down the cost. In his major, the average co-op pays $17,000 for six month and they suggest that the students use $10,000 of that towards the cost of schooling. I believe the engineering program is five year one with three co-ops. The co-op is a big plus for employment. Philadelphia is also a very diverse city and Drexel has many international students so you would probably feel comfortable socially. However, it is in the Northeast part of the country and it gets quite cold in the winter and hot and sticky in the summer.
