> I don't know why people even consider going to a private university. Public universities are subsidized by the public.

I think this is generally true, but for me it was actually cheaper to go to a private university due to scholarships from the private school and zero financial aid from the public one.

Yes, for sure that would be the case in your situation. That makes sense, if someone gets a full ride, you go wherever you want.

But most private universities are $30-40K/year in tuition. I, for one, am an idiot and qualified for zero kinds of scholarships or aid. You're one of the smarties, so good on you!
