Jan,
I can give you no advice about the two schools you are comparing, but I can
pass along my two cents in general. Cost isn't the biggest factor to
consider when choosing a university. Do you feel comfortable on campus?
What is the caliber of the academic program you plan to major in? What
scholarships are available? The price difference btw. the two schools isn't
that big when you look at the big picture. You can always apply for student
loans if your family can't swing the cost.

on the list. I have been accepted to the University of Illinois at
Urbana Champaign. I was looking forward to going however, I got a
flyer in the mail saying tuition got raised by 4.5% across the board and a
$1,000 increase on the out of state tuition rate.</FONT></P>
> <P align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did some research and the tuition
rate for out of state students is $25,000 not including spending money for
Illinois.. In contrast the university of Arizona will cost me $23,000
including spending money. If I subtract the spending money the
university of Arizona is $7,000 cheaper.</FONT></P>
> <P align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess my question is how
accessible is the University of Arizona? If I go
to Illinois it would put a financial strain on my
parents. I think we could afford it, but it would be tight. I
guess what I am saying should I still go to Illinois even
though it is $7,000 more? In terms of academics how does
Illinois compare to Arizona? A lot of my friends say the west is more
open minded about people with disabilities. </FONT></P>

pay for my education. According to them we have to much
money in savings for them to help me. </FONT></P>
