So I know public schools, specifically SUNY schools, are cheaper than private schools. If I am comparing two similar colleges, a private and a public, and the private is more expensive, can I assume the costs will even out after financial aid/scholarships?

<p>Go to each college’s web site and search for the Net Price Calculator. Put your family financial information in each one to get an estimated Net Price after financial aid for each college.</p>
