interestingly enough, Stern is cheaper at $40K yearly (perhaps they didnt factor in housing costs?)

Columbia is $74K yearly

so umm yeah. not off the mark by that much.

yeppers... and my figure is guesstimating a tuition increase by next year since that is when I will likely start if I don't get this gig I put in for.... and books.

I'm looking at a few schools in my current area that are good schools , but that may change if I have to move for work.
