Thats the link for the program I got accepted into. The tuition is around $3500 for the entire program.
I see now, thanks. For some reason, the link I went to before listed everything in a very strange way. Those prices are really a steal.
If you live in the United States, and the U.S. program is less expensive, I think it's a no-brainer to go with the U.S. program. The only time I would say otherwise is if a foreign program is well-known internationally and more prestigious than the U.S. program which I don't think is the case here.
Being from the U.S., I was looking from a U.S. perspective. I doubt Rovira Virgili is known much if at all in the United States since this is the first time that name has ever been uttered here, and only twice at the other board--14 years apart--with each time bringing up scrutiny due to lack of familiarity. That says nothing bad about the school, just one country where people don't know about it.
If you live in a country where Rovira is well-known then that's something to factor in since NAU may not be known at all where you live as most U.S. universities aren't well-known internationally just like most schools internationally aren't known in the United States. Heck, most U.S. schools aren't even well-known in the United States outside their surrounding communities for that matter.
