UIC-GPPA compared NU-HPME for those who do not qualify for need based aid
Tuition $15k after scholarship around $7-8k per year at UIC vs NU 77K as you have to stay first 2 yrs at the Campus even if you live like us 30min from NU ( a rip off by NU)
Total cost at 7yrs UIC-GPPA = around $250-275k at the most for commuter, instate. ( GPPA is instate only)
Total cost at 7yrs NU-HPME = around $500-525K without any other living expenses…
Go figure…
