<p>Well, DePaul’s room and board is around $8000-$9000/ year ([Room</a> and Board | Admission and Aid | DePaul University](<a href=“http://www.depaul.edu/admission-and-aid/tuition/Pages/room-board.aspx]Room”>http://www.depaul.edu/admission-and-aid/tuition/Pages/room-board.aspx)). Tuition around the $30,000 mark as you mentioned, and if books/supplies are around $1134, then it’d be around $39,134. Multiply that by 4 for my 4 years of school, I would be paying around $156,536. Take out my $50,000 scholarship, that would be $106,536 for my 4 years. </p>
<p>And since I am a business major, UIUC’s site says an additional fee will apply for that school. So, I’m estimating around a $30,000 cost/ year with everything included at UIUC. Basically, I’d be paying $120,000 for my 4 years at UIUC. </p>
<p>However, I’m not sure how significant the ‘brand-name’ of a school is, because if it is a big deal, then I know UIUC is much more well-known around the nation.</p>
