Those OOS costs suck but if you're going to be taking loans out anyway, then UCI. You're doing CS so you're in the best major to be paying those loans back

Save your cash and go to UMD. They just got that new CS building. Lots of aerospace and robotics research too.

I would say UMD. UCI is much more expensive imo.

if her appeal fails then it's going to cost the same
actually i dont think i can recommend UCI at all if that's 68k PER YEAR

60k is still less than 68k lol
floral sleet
if shes going to be spending 60k per year on a school then I'd say go UCI you're already knee deep in loans
but i can't recommend either school for 240k assuming she take a loan on everything without paying out of pocket
not even Ivys are worth 240k

Yea I mean I still need to get an education somehow tho😭
