<p>Patriot, I am not biased toward U of Chicago (did you read my post? My kid did not choose to attend due partly to what I stated). If you want to give advice to people on colleges to select, it might be helpful for you to learn a little more about public vs. private schools, and in-state vs. out-of-state tuition before making suggestions. I didn’t know CalTech’s tuition off the top of my head, but I knew it was a top tier private – so knew it would likely come in over $55,000 (and a quick Google search showed this to be correct).</p>
