Is a more reputable but more expensive school worth it for computer science?

Thank you for that information. I had never realized that was the case. It’s quite lame.

I already felt that some private schools were using unethical practices by providing financial aid forms that do not follow the federal “shopping list” template and only list prices after federal subsided loans and work-studies, but at least I was expecting that one was guaranteed those prices…

tOSU is definitely more reputable, but Miami is still awesome. The 5k/yr extra is only worth it if you have a strong personal preference for tOSU and can afford it.
