The Best Choice?

<p>The problem with that is that the typical UW admit would be getting a 6-7K/year scholarship at IU. Over 4 years that's a savings of 24-28K if you are OOS at both schools. And for what, a school with a slightly better reputation than IU? Not to mention the fact that IU ranks similar if not better than UW in many subjects. For Business, Journalism and Music, IU outranks Wisconsin. The schools are the same, both in college towns, both party schools. There isn't a reason for an OOS student to pay that much more for UW. Perhaps that's why IU has 37% of their students paying OOS tuition, whereas UW only has 25% students paying OOS tuition. The cost isn't worth it. In addition, the OP is looking for a major that UW doesn't even offer (Sport Management).</p>

<p>BTW - I agree with Northstarmom. I think that for financial reasons, SDSU and WSU should be the top 2 choices here. The difference in cost between those 2 schools and the rest of the schools is extremely significant, and it's not worth going into tens of thousands of debt when you have affordable options that you like.</p>
