ORG XMIT: WAET201 This June 18, 2009 photo shows Rebecca Gottlieb holding up a sweatshirt from her new school while wearing one from her old school at her family home on Bainbridge Island, Wash. Gottlieb's family paid $50,000 last year so she could attend Tufts University 2,500 miles away in Medford, Mass. So the 19-year-old made the choice many college students are contemplating right now, she gave up her dream of earning a degree from a prestigious private university and is moving back home to finish her undergraduate education at Western Washington University, where tuition, housing, books and fees will total about $15,000 next year.
