[QUOTE="Limp Lizard, post: 1076532, member: 18"] Estimates from University web sites for full-time undergraduates from our local peers: Baylor - $44,988 SMU - varies, about $50-51 K Tulsa - $43,079 Tulane - $43,434 (doesn't state if this includes R&B) The problem is getting all the costs on the same-year basis, which I am too lazy to do. Didn't include Rice ($50,171 in '11-'12, a real bargain...if you can get in) since they are ranked much higher than TCU and its peers. In that stratosphere Vandy is $59,248, Stanford is $56, 272, Harvard is $56 - 60K, MIT $55,270...if you can get in. Or for a top-notch prep school try the Kent School in NW Connecticut (where Seth MacFarlane went): $50,995 for '12-'13! Oh, and a Rolls costs more than a Yugo, too. TCU looks competitive with their peers. Their costs have gone up a bunch the last 20 years, too. If TCU is >$100K, they they will probably be, too. The only way to cost less is stop trying to be competitive. This isn't a for-profit operation, people. The University charges what they need to meet costs. Unfortunately students expect a lot more than they did 40 years ago. As long as people expect a lot, and are willing to pay for it, costs will rise. Or go to a state school. [/QUOTE]
