<p>I added up the numbers and it’s close, that’s for sure, (with the $9,000 a year scholarship.) But, it’s still more to attend IU-B. Part of that, of course, is travel expenses. And, $31,000 out of pocket is just too much for us. We can afford about 25 grand at this point. It’s still her first choice school. But, we’ll just have to wait to see if she’s admitted and how much it will cost. She also just applied to the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) because they have an awesome scholarship (her stats will give her 2/3 tuition–about $13,000 a year scholarship.) Total (with all expenses) would work out to be under $20,000. My husband is not thrilled she applied there. Something about Ala-baaama. Stereotypes, maybe? 
I think the school looks fine. Kind of like Indiana, but FOOTBALL is their claim-to-fame. I happen to be a BASKETBALL fan, myself. :)</p>
