<p>Just in case no one mentioned it, this FA package is only for year one.</p>
<p>Cost go up every year but FA doesn’t always.
Generally the student contribution increases each year.
WS in future years is not guarantee.
WS award only means that you are eligible to apply for a WS job but doesn’t guarantee that you will get one or earn the full amount…</p>
<p>Go to Indiana. Great school. You’ll be thankful you made this choice when grad school comes around in four short years, and you can have one of those “Friends Don’t Let Friends Go To Purdue” stickers on your car. </p>
<p>In this case, I would go to IU without a moment’s doubt, for all of the financial reasons above. Even if you <em>don’t</em> end up in med school. IU is a fine school. Loans are not FA. $30K can buy a lot of extras. </p>
<p>Thank Heaven for Indiana, and take full advantage of everything they have to offer.</p>
