<p>WUSTL ($60k/y) vs. Case Western ($30k/y), Is WUSTL worth that much?</p>
<p>I plan to be in math+econ+stats majors, maybe also take some computer courses. I want to find a job in the east coast (near home)after college. </p>
<p>My parents support me wherever I want to go, but I know every penny is hard earned.</p>
<p>WUSTL is a fine school. There is, however, ABSOLUTELY NO WAY it is worth $120,000 more than Case Western, which is also a fine school. The quality of the education you will get is essentially the same - if you apply yourself to your studies, you will get a first-class education at either place - and Case is at least as well known and respected on the east coast as is WUSTL, perhaps even more so.</p>
