We are trying to decide between the 2 schools, looking at cost. OSU’s total cost is listed at 25,978 for the 2016-2017 year. However this is including $4104 of personal, miscellaneous, and book expenses (all are estimated) Without those it is $21,010.
Miami’s total cost is $26,577. This does not include books or personal expenses, but does include several other fees that are mandatory (tech…and others).
So, it appears OSU is the better deal, financially speaking. Does this sound correct? My son has received $8000 merit to Miami, but just $2850 to OSU. However, there seems to be more opportunity to earn scholarship $$$$ while attending OSU in years to come.
Is anyone else facing a similar situation?
