<p>I’m going to disagree with Freshman’s post. After considering the main purpose you are going there…how well educated or trained you will be. You are moving someplace for 4 yrs and different places have different conveniences and amenities and cultures. It’s highly probable that at some point you will want an apt off campus. My D’s share rent is $350 mo…someone I know at a Boston college it will be $1000 mo. Moving into a dorm in NYC isn’t the same as moving into a dorm in a rural area or is the availability or cost of storage lockers when you have to move out in May and back into the dorm in August. Crime is not the same at all campuses. Airline schedules are not the same to all campuses…you and/or your parents will travel back and forth. How many airlines go there and are the only routes with 2 l/2 hour layovers somewhere?</p>
