<p>That tool is nutz. But if the tool is accurate, then UIUC is nutz. I put in IL resident, $10,000 -yes 10,000 for total family income, zero taxes pd, 7k of parental assets, 3k for student assets, and it said that the student will have $ 7,500 /year in loans. that would be about $30k of debt at the end of 4 yrs.</p>
<p>I thought that state U was supposed to be cheaper than other colleges.</p>
