Is it best to look at each cost per school for aid offerings?
Yes, always be sure to compare aid offerings from each school to see which will be most affordable.
What if the school i want to attend does not list the cost of attendance on the aid offer?
You should ask the financial aid office for the figure and make sure it includes the amounts you would pay to the school directly such as tuition and fees as well as living expenses, books and supplies, and transportation.
