Have you asked Yale or Stanford to match Chicago’s FA package? If not, you might consider doing that…they may or may not match it, but you might get some more $ and there is no harm in asking.

No one can answer if $80K more is worth it to go to Y or S over Chicago…because that decision is so unique to you. It depends if your family can afford the extra money without hardship and loans. If affordable with no hardship, then the softer things come into play…in which intellectual environment would he thrive? Which poli sci profs are doing research in areas he likes most? Which social environment does he prefer? Then weather, geography, etc.

I agree with Brantly…if it’s his decision to make then let him…if the money is a thing tell him that ASAP.
