@Trolleydolly lol, my name keeps popping up…yeah that makes sense given my focus! I’m sure you’ll also find me on searches for “MIT football” or similar 
Congrats on your DD’s NMF and UM Presidential award! With the Benacquisto stacked, I would expect that the COA for her at UM would be substantially below that of USC unless she receives additional awards beyond the NMF half-tuition. Personally I’d be so excited if my DS chose UM, especially now that they are in the midst of tearing down the Towers and replacing them with the new student village - it looks like it will be an amazing residential experience! Of course they are charging more for the new residence halls vs M/P or ERC so it will be very helpful to have the scholarships stacking together to help defray the costs. Keep us posted on how things go!
