To you, what schools are truly worth 90k/year

[Anonymous]

Honestly, none unless you have NW of $10m+.

I understand that the purpose of a college isn't job training, but, at some point, when you're charging such obscene prices, you have to guarantee a return on the investment beyond being a "whole, educated person." For you, what institutions are worth $90k+, if any?

Absolutely not. And it’s supply and demand. Demand drives up prices.

I agree with you, OP. Wish more people had your sense so the price hikes would stop. I also think, with all the taxpayer money these institutions receive, citizens and legal residents should get priority.

For 91K+/year (with increases every year), I’d want a guaranteed career.

That’s a pipe dream of course, so why not go to a cheaper school and throw some money in an ETF or other investment vehicle for the child. I hope to do that.

Shut up maga racist.

What do you not understand about what Christian right is doing to colleges? You think Trump the con moron is going to ring prices down?

Dam fool no one is going to have dollars for collage definitely not you.

Not only will state schools not accept women and any minority the brain drain we are already seeing is going to get way worse.

Go back to the hole you climbed out of.

No one stopped your white sin from their dram school but your families lack of intelligence to understand the process abd wheee we are at this moment as a country.

Signed mother of six white boys that all got into the top schools in this country . From MIT to Yale to Princeton to Stanford yep all from public school. I know what the hell I am taking about you are just a DC urban mom fool who drank the koolaid of propaganda.

Education is a gift Americans care about Taco Bell on campus and air conditioned dorms over education and look were we are the dumbest time ever.

No college is worth 91K ...unless you are talking about 91K for 4 years.

I made myself feel better by only look at tuition.

I did save some money by not feeding my kid every day or paying for soccer league etc. Was it 20k a year? No. But whatever.

So I try to only look at tuition. What schools are worth 50-60k a year. I drew the line at those schools that were not quite top level but were only a half a step above schools that gave real merit. As someone said, that's around the BC or tufts line for us.

None for me because it means loans and sacrificing retirement savings. If we had the income to cash flow it without impacting anything else, maybe that would be different, but I can’t help but think I’d feel the same way. What makes a school worth hundreds of thousand more than another? Only the parent and student footing the bill can decide.

Honestly, none. Maybe Harvard if that was an option with its not, idk. Probably not. But the rest of these schools? Hell no. It is ridiculous.

[Anonymous]

None of them. Definitely not Tufts.

We are at a really really great time for our country. Cannot be more happier with the changes! That is why America voted the way they did. Denigrating and looking down on fellow Americans is why Karma caught up with you!

If you pay half of that, you can save $180,000 over 4 years.

If you put that in S&P500 assuming 9% yield, you get 1 million in 20 years.

You'll be a millionaire at 45 years old.
