<p>How important is the difference in cost for you? Here is a calculator that can help you figure out what the scholarships you have been offered mean to you.

<p>Knox is in a small city in the Midwest. All of the others are in or near Boston. Be sure to take into account the difference in transportation costs.</p>
<p>Umass is the best school but how much would each cost?</p>
<p>Thank you so much for replying! 
about the cost:</p>
<p>Knox
Tuition and fees: $33,024
Room and board: $7341</p>
<p>UMASS AMHERST
Tuition and fees: $20,307
Room and board: $8,814</p>
<p>EMERSON
Tuition and fees: $31,272
Room and board: $12,881</p>
<p>CLARK
Tuition and fees: $36,420
Room and board: $6,950</p>
<p>BU
Tuition and fees: $39,864
Room and board: $12,260</p>
<p>NORTHEASTERN
Tuition and fees: $ 36,792
Room and board: $12,760</p>
<p>UMass if money is at all an issue or unless you have to be in or near a city.</p>
<p>Knox:
33024 + 7341 = 40365
40365 - 14000 = 26365</p>
<p>UM-A:
20307 + 8814 = 29121
29121 - 3500 = 25621</p>
<p>I find a $744 difference between the fixed costs of Knox and UM-A. If your transportation expenses are not very different, and you would like a smaller school, Knox may be workable for you. If not, it looks like UM-Amherst is the winner.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>UMASS all the way.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone
now its UMASS AMHERST VS BOSTON U!</p>
<p>IMO BU is not worth almost twice the price of UMass Amherst. And I say that as a BU (law) grad whose son is going to UMass.</p>
<p>UMass still personally with the five colleges factor (taking classes at AMHERST for example) I think its stronger academically and cheaper.</p>
