<p>Looking to major in Accounting, have been direct-admitted to both, Iowa approximately $15K more/per year. Is Iowa worth that?</p>
<p>gamerbach, there is no way to answer this question definitively. My hunch is that you are looking at a solid, employable major and two pretty mainstream (meaning good but not elite) schools. With decent grades and meaningful internships you will get a job when you’re done. Thus the additional $60k for Iowa would be difficult to justify.</p>
<p>I suggest you also evaluate these choices on subjective criteria - which school feels right to me? If you go to the wrong school and hate it all the savings in the world will not change this.</p>
