Duke is well worth it if you can swing it
Duke is now $89 a year. UVA College of Arts & Sciences in-state is $38. Thats a delta of $51 in after-tax dollars, meaning you have to go out and make $80 to pay the delta. $80k x 4 = $320k extra for Duke. Instead, go to UVA and bank the difference and let it compound and pay for grad school. Thats what we did so can now afford a top law school at an obscene $110k a year.
