There are something like 3500 4 year schools in America. Not sure what you are asking.
I was curious if the OP had applied and been accepted to anyplace else a with lower COE.
This is always tough. First you need to ask you parents what they are willing to pay. None of us know your financial situation. Some families have saved for years. Others can easily pay as they go. I know of a mom that uses her salary solely to pay for her child’s education (which was the families intention). I also know of another family that paid off their mortgage before their child began college so they could continue making their monthly “payments” for college instead. So your parents must help you with this decision. Everyone is different.
The good news is both schools are awesome so you cannot go wrong with either one.
If your parents can pay then you ought to pick the university that fits you best. After all, happy students are successful students! Only you know which university fits you the best.
However if your family finds it difficult to pay and/or you’ll have to take out significant loans, then I would choose Tulane.
Good luck!!!
The OP told me by PM they decided on Vanderbilt. Closing thread.
