I agree that can be true for students. I simply don’t understand why you quoted my handle and stated upcoming tuition rates, as neither MYOS nor I mentioned it in the recent cross-posts. We are already aware. I also do not think the upcoming tuition for Wisconsin will deter that many students in the future, as it has been historically low and below market-value, even for many Big Ten institutions, when Wisconsin has departments and resources that rate within the top three of the Big Ten (which now has, I believe, fourteen institutions). When an OOS student wants to study in a top department at Wisconsin, they will still come.

Let me put this politely another way: you have asked a comparative question about the three institutions in more than one thread. We are trying to answer to the best of our abilities, and some of us on the board know the higher education system here pretty well. I think it is becoming counter-productive to state more information if you are not processing it. I am wondering why you haven’t decided yet, because most students have unless they received waitlist notifications that changed their decisions.

At any rate, I think I’ve said my piece, and I wish you the best of luck.
