<p>hey, i'm interested in wash. u (from ny), But I'm worried that it's too expensive to travel back and forth (by plane, i guess)..</p>
<p>does anyone know from experience?</p>
<p>if i'm going to be spending a lot of money traveling back and forth anyway, is there much of a difference from, say, going to Stanford, which has a better location?</p>
<p>Crunch the numbers yourself - I posted some plane fares over at <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=203967%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=203967</a> . It's not what you'd consider expensive if you travel Soutwest Airlines w/ a stopover in Chicago. I've never been out to Stanford, so I don't know the atmosphere of their campus and their area, but I know that I like Wash U.</p>
