<p>That was the one thing that really turned us off to Chicago when my son was accepted as an undergraduate. the Aetna insurance was SOOOO much more expensive than at other colleges. I cant believe they would charge grad students the same rate as UG students. DS pays only $384/ yr for graduate medical coverage at Cal Tech!! and both are provided by Aetna.
I think you need to look closer. I’ll bet your graduate medical insurance is subsidized by Chicago. It is at CalTech. Better ask though.</p>
