<p>What strikes me about giterdone’s D’s options, more than the differences in cost, are the differences in school experience. Which does she prefer? Or is she an agreeable sort who will make the most of any environment? Having done my UG and grad education at two big state Us in great college towns, I’d say that part of the experience at U. Mich. would be worth paying for if the money is there and if that’s what the student wants. But if she’d be just as happy, or even happier, at a lower-cost school, all the better!</p>
<p>Surprised that no one has said anything about Drake U. From the little I do know, it looks like a steal at $13K per year. It’s ranked #3 for regional Us in the Midwest (per U.S. News) behind Creighton and Butler, so the competition is high. It seems to draw reasonably strong students (550-670 middle 50 SAT math; 530-650 CR; with a reasonable percentage in the above-700 range for both math and CR). </p>
<p>Giterdone: Did you expose your daughter to the concept of organizational change management or did she discover the interest on her own?</p>
