It’s hard for me to choose, USC has a really great architecture program but the annual cost is almost 70k. Umich is a little cheaper but it if I choose to go to Umich, I have to go to graduate school which total cost for 6(4+2) years will even higher than USC. Tulane gives me 30k a year, which costs the least, but its program is not as good as USC or Umich. My parents have the money to pay for my USC 5-year education if I choose to go there, but they won’t have too much left. So the question is, is USC really worth 350k?
Hi. I don’t know anything about USC or UMich. However I know a little about Tulane. They have a great program and 30k or 150k for 5 years is an amazing gift. Not many people get that kind of offer and they wish they did!
You could always attend Tulane and then USC for a masters if you want to attend USC or another arch school. That’d be a way to save quite a bit of money.
No… and I would attend Tulane in a heartbeat. With the money you save, you could go get a master’s if necessary.
