I thought Ithaca was one of the more expensive colleges. Guess not. colby.edu/admissions_cs/financial_aid/?clear=y$50,120 annually for 08-09 at my Alma Mater. I graduated 9 years ago, and it was around 35K then......so basically it's jumping about 5% every year. Looks like my daughter will be hitting the local Community Colleges in 2024. WTF? How can a college outside of the Ivies not named GW or NYU cost that much!? Especially one in New Hampshire!

So Pig & Mark are both transferring? Ithaca's not that expensive, and if it wasn't for the distance thing(its about 5 hours away), it'd be far and away my #1 choice. Ithaca is defintley one the most expensive schools in the country.

Colby is in Maine, Keelty lives in Vermont.

You should also try to balance out your school. Go to more of a diverse environment and get some street smarts as well. It might not help on your resume but it will help in life. Trust me.

Ithaca is defintley one the most expensive schools in the country. ...how? It cost $30,606 this year. Room & Board was expensive though. They are also known for giving out a lot of financial aid.

I think you can do better...why not Cornell? Its pretty good. Accepted GPA is a 4.1 and accepted SAT is a 1945(1265). No way I'm getting into Cornell. My extra-curriculars aren't good enough, and my Math score isn't good enough for the Ivies.

I'm above the GPA & SAT criteria for all the colleges I want to apply to but Penn, and the only reason I'm applying there is because my dad went there.
I'm confident I'll get into all of them, and a lot will depend on the money factor.

I'm fairly certain I'm transferring schools again - going back to where I started, haha.

I am, but I'm a psycho. I started at one school, transferred after my first semester, and now I'm leaving again.

I started at Washington and Jefferson College. I transferred to Pitt, mostly because I hated my miserable roommate. Now, I think I'm going back to W&J.

I'm a huge Pitt fan. Love them. I'll still have Pitt season tickets next year, but the school itself won't work for what I plan on doing. I think I was in that situation of 'I always would've wondered' had I not gone to Pitt. I tried it and it just didn't work well for me.

I haven't checked, but I imagine pretty much all the schools in Colby's Conference cost about 50K now. Amherst, Williams, Bates, Bowdoin, Wesleyan, Trinity (CT), Tufts, just to name a few. Tuition's probably at about the same level at all those schools.

i just got done with differential equations (calculus 4) I haven't taken a specific class in it but I use it I finished up calc 1-3 last term. I don't have to take D-EQ, thank goodness. I like linear algebra more than calc for sure.

Yeah community college is the way to go. Easier and way cheaper. And too be honest, I like the small classroom size, and being able to talk to your teacher whenever you want. Plus the rock creek campus, where I'm at is really nice. I like it.

Ithaca is a very nice college, and no it's not too expensive.
I was considering myself.

LMAO if me & Skillz go to the same college. That would be pretty damn funny and ironic.

hahaha that would be interesting
I don't think i end up there though. It's a very good college but i don't think it's in my top 5 right now for what I think i want to do.
My best friends sister is in Ithaca majoring in communications so you have some good company lol

What's weird is, by my count we have 4 HS GMs. I don't want BBS to become all college kids. That sucks. I remember when we were the HS kids, and BBS needs its youth. If we don't stay young, how will we rebuild? We'll just be old and overpaid, approaching the hard cap. BBS needs some firsts.
