*As far as my budget goes…I think 20k or a little bit more than that is what I would hope to pay for tuition. *

I’m not sure that you’re looking at the right amounts…you can’t just look at tuition. :(

Tuition is only part of the cost. You need to consider the Cost of Attendance (tuition, fees, room, board, books, misc, transportation, etc)

**The schools that you mentioned have costs that range from about $37k - 54k per year./B The OOS tuition (alone) for UMich is about $34k (that’s not counting room, board, etc)

When you say that your budget is $20k for tuition, how about the rest of the costs (room, board, etc)? Or, did you mean that your budget is $20k for COA (everything)?

To give you an idea of out of state COA’s for various schools…
