Full pays oos at UVA, UMICH, UCB, UNC worth it???????

[Anonymous]

Crazy town, 85k average now for most, UNC is low 70s. Hard to believe it would be worth it but I guess they cater to rich people.

Anybody have positive outcomes justifying these costs? Or just hardcore legacies or prestige chasing parents?

Worth it relative to a much cheaper in state option? No, not worth it. Worth it relative to full pay at privates? Depends on major.

The better question now is does any undergraduate degree make sense relative to ROI. Debatable.

For engineering at Berkeley or Michigan, yes. Otherwise, you're probably objectively overpaying--but whether it's still "worth it" to you is a personal question.

At today’s tuition rates, almost no college is worth the money unless is a T10.

Michigan is worth it if your kid is in the top 20% at Ross, Engineering or Ford and gets a $75,000+ job at graduation.

If it’s not worth it to you, don’t apply. Problem solved.

Legacies mostly. Hard to think anyone else would be enthused at those prices unless they went there themselves.

or families who have $100k per year set aside for college costs

UNC is pretty cheap out of state when you consider Penn State and VT have higher OOS tuition

UNC and UVa, absolutely not regardless of major. UCB and UM, it could be depended on what you want to study.

UMich and Cal are worth oos for Eng/CS, but not UNC or UVA. So, it depends on your major.

Maryland? Absolutely worth it.

Not to me for any public. Pay full-price at a top private.

Out here in CA, I appreciate our UCs, but I wouldn't pay OOS for any large public over a private. If your kid can get into these schools OOS, surely there is a more attentive private alternative.

“it could be depended”

They have excellent English departments at UNC and UVA.
