Ruina :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Holy Molly!!!! Barcelona, did you say Euro 59000? That is almost 77 K in USD. Tution cost for Harvard Grad. School is abt. $35-36 K. MIT has almost $40 k. Yale Grad. School is almost $27 k Even though in 'real' value, in terms of knowledge gained would not be any different than most of the other big schools, it certainly has an appeal and often gives myopic view to people looking from outside. With the exception of MIT which in my humble opinion has something more to offer except 'name' where you really have to have something far better than oridinary, I would assume others just charge for the name they have. Oh yeah and the faculty too.:). I reckon if the tution cost alone for the Uni. in Barcelona is Euro . 59 K aka $77 K , it must be some school with stratospheric standards. I am curious to know more about your school ( to be). But isn't it rather expensive? Does it include living expenses? Haha, I'm getting too curious now. Sorry. IndisGuise:) (Note: The approx. expenses in the aforementioned school are in p.a.) ----------------------------------------------------------
