<p>I'm trying to decide whether or not Drexel is a realistic view for my future.
My EFC is 0 according to the forecaster, and according to my CSS Profile estimate in the financial aid tab, I get a total of 35k (including my AJ Scholarship).
This still leaves about 20k/year.
I do realize that some colleges are not generous to out of state students, but is this really what I'd have to pay?
Or could I end up getting more aid?
I don't think I could manage 20k a year on my own.
Any advice/tips as well?
Anything is appreciated, as I really want to go to Drexel, but I really don't want money to be the reason I can't go.</p>
<p>Are you dorming? The tuiton for drexel is 35k according to their website so your tuition is covered but your personal expenses are not.</p>
<p>I have to dorm as I’m out of state.
35k?
I saw something around 40 for the tuition.</p>
<p>So the tuition depends on whether you take a 5 year program on the 4 year. If you enroll in the 5 year, your tuition is less (35) but you pay the extra year. If you chose 4 years, the tuition is in the 40’s</p>
<p>Is there a benefit to doing 5 year over 4 year besides the price?</p>
