And room and board is like 5k a year. And then the cost of plane tickets from NYC to HMC and back.



Room and board is not $5k a year. I know this for a fact because board is that much by itself. Room and board is around $10k. Please don’t make things up.



But anyway, I am 95% sure Im gonna enroll in HMC despite the traveling costs.The HMC cards in the acceptance packet were so funny. College kids can get reduced air tickets, esp. when booked early.



You do realize they include travel costs in the financial aid package? If you are getting financial aid, then it doesn’t matter how far away you are because they will give you slightly more financial aid. It can actually work in your favor if you think about it. I’m from Cleveland and I spend $200-300 round trip on plane tickets, but Mudd estimates $900 a year for travel. It’s not too hard to get cheap deals when you have both LAX and ontario international in the same county.
