University of Delaware honors program or Villanova ?

which one should my son chose ?

What are the costs after any financial aid?

What is his probable major?

What career goals does he have?

All things equal, including cost?

My cousin’s daughter, who was an excellent student with very good test scores, chose UD over Villanova with very little hesitation because of the cost differential. She was full pay in state at UD, but even with some fin aid, it was a lot more expensive for pretty much the same thing at Nova, maybe better even at UD. Some UD programs are way up there in reputation.

Net Cost?
What can your family afford?

If finances are not a consideration…then…what does your son want to do??
