I just don't understand why people pay high dollar for the "Ivy" schools. For the vast majority of people, there is no reason to spend that kind of money... I think I got a pretty good education from a state school, and it was DIRT cheap. I also don't understand the small school thing either. If you find a larger school that has the same student/teacher ratio you're no better off either way. Except your wallet.
When I co-oped I had some friends that went to Georgia Tech. Almost all of their senior level engineering classes were still in the 50+ student range. MSU's is around 15 students. I only had 2-3 classes during my entire degree with more than 50 students. They have lots of student loans, I have none. I also had plenty of opportunities for undergraduate research.... In fact, thats how I have my current job. MS State Tuition cost/semester: $2600 Yes, there are only two zeros in those numbers. MSU estimates that it costs $16k a year to attend. That INCLUDES, room and board, full meal plans, books, and estimated living expenses. http://www.futurestudents.msstate.edu/choice/cost/ If you are a grad student and get a Teaching/Research Assistant position (not very difficult), you get a monthly stipend (8-16k a year) and free tuition.
