From what I understand, you’ll like the cost less when moving off campus. College costs more than people think, then they tell you - especially in a place like Coral Gables.
And I go to Coral Gables for work - beautiful area - but I can’t buy a meal within my per diem ($18 for lunch).
It’s really really really really pricey.
Both meet need - interested in how you got to half price at Wake.
But it’s time to tell your son about tradeoffs in life - and that life is long.
Sometimes you have to go to plan B so you don’t bankrupt mom and dad or impact our retirement - and oh by the way, if you want to eat out once in a while or go on a spring break trip with your friends, you can do that in Winston Salem - but in Coral Gables…you eat dining hall food every emal for the resto f your life, never come home during the year, and never go on spring break. then again, it is spring break there so that part might not work.
but you get the idea.
I’d prefer Miami too - forgetting the rank. But not at double the price.
