<p>You could have four years at Tufts for the cost of the four-year old subcompact car that you’d probably have to buy to get around UT-Knoxville. But at Tufts you don’t need a car - you’ll just hop on the T. If you were attracted to Tufts in the first place, it would qualitatively be a big leap up IMO. I’d take out a loan on Tufts instead of the used car.</p>
