<p>Seriously, I am trying to tease this out. Fit, Highest ranked, affordability. It is all clear as mud. You’d think affordability wd be pretty clear and objective and therefore helpful in making a decision, but Keli above made a a good point that affordability admits to degrees. 5k diff per yr = a new car when you graduate from that ‘higher ranked’ (or even ‘better fitting’) school.</p>
