When comparing college costs, it's important to consider the total value you will receive. While some schools may offer you more grants and scholarships, it is important to consider what the total annual cost will be to attend that school. For example, if the estimated Cost of Attendance of one school is higher than that of UT Austin, then an additional grant or scholarship that is less than the difference may not make that school a better value. These and other issues such as housing costs and out-of-state tuition charges should also be considered.

The University of Texas at Austin consistently ranks as an excellent value in cost and quality of education. By evaluating your educational goals and financial situation, you can determine the best choice for your situation.
