Quick Comparison of Tuition for Maryland Colleges . . .

Here is a quick tuition comparison of a few local colleges just to warm up my brain for the coming semester.  This is a good exercise no matter where you live and I highly recommend that students and parents do this together.  I believe that the best college fit is the one you can afford! 

Read through some of last year's posts to see where you can get started in applying for scholarships, etc.  It's never too early to plan.  

I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the affordability of a local Baltimore university.  My comparison included tuition and mandatory fees only -- not room/board, etc.
