OOS public school is never worth it. You are paying to subsidize in-state tuition.

Ridiculous statement. These publics are superior to 99% of privates.

There are at least 10 - 15 other schools as good or better than any T10 for a particular major. If you are hunting for IB/MBB then some of them are worth it and some of them fall behind the top SLACs. Otherwise ROI is a poor metric.

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


There is nothing at UCB that is worth the mess of a UCB undergraduate experience. If you can get into UCB and want to do CS you can go to SJSU or Santa Clara and get all of the same opportunities for less money and angst.

Equally true that private school is never worth it. You are paying to subsidize tuition for poor and middle-class students.

Trade-school mindset.


Engineering is a trade. Engineers are trained, not educated which is why the state schools are strong in engineering.

My view is you will generally get better value from a private school than an OOS public.

Not one of these schools is worth it unless you are in state.

Engineering was a middle class, not even upper middle class job right up until the internet bubble. Pay has increased but prestige hasn't. Public schools were set up to train people for middle class jobs.....sorry if that hurts.

Your kid didn't get into UCB did they? so your want to deter oos from applying to your UCs?
