Thank you so much for your response!!! I just found CC today while researching UDel vs Villanova. My son was accepted to both (engineering), honors for UDel. Sure, Villanova has the name, but UDel is beautiful and truly offers so much. I couldn’t agree more about the cost. Based on monies given by each school, VU would be $88,000 more over 4 years (assuming current costs). As my son is coming from an all boys private school, he said that Villanova is just like his school except with girls. Very JCREW U. We are not wealthy by any means, but only have one child to send through college. However, it’s a major life change not only over the next four years, but for years to come if we spend almost $200,000 on an education for 1 child. Our house cost less!!!
Again, thank you for your post - it’s nice to know I’m not alone.
