@VAOptimist Many of the schools on your list do not offer accounting.
@alexkayon In state publics are cheaper. Out of state publics add an out of state fee, not covered by financial aid, that makes them more expensive than privates.
For example, in-state cost of attendance for the University of Washington is 26,600 (living in the dorms) and 51,160 for those who are not state residents of Washington.
