Also important to consider with needs-meeting schools: Some pad their COA more than others. To accurately compare aid packages, add up the tuition/room/board/fees/and other mandatory costs. Subtract only free money (grants/scholarships). This will tell you what you have to pay through your own money & with loans (should you choose to borrow).
