@windows16 I understand where you get your $22k figure from. Since that is $4k + $5k + $6k + $7k, it seems that is the total tuition minus the $100k in scholarship, assuming that tuition goes up $1k each year.

Thing is, every college goes up every year. So that part is basically a wash compared to in-state schools, unless the in-state school matches full tuition.

E.g., let’s say you’re comparing it to University of Texas. UT is about $10k for in-state. If you compare $22k to ($10k * 4), and you might think that the difference is worth going to UT. But that comparison assumes UT tuition does not change each year, while assuming UA rises each year. If you assume UT rises also, the comparison becomes $22k to $62k. You still might choose UT, but it’s a tougher decision than before. Especially if you plan on grad school.
