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

Zuckerberg wouldn't have been able to steal the idea for Facebook from other people at Harvard if he had attended SUNY Binghamton, so the answer to PP's question is "no."

All the top Engineering Schools. Because the value of the education with regard to immediate earning potential are great.

MIT
Stanford
Cal Tech
Berkley
Georgia Tech
etc. Go down the line.

Go to the best in-state college you can afford.

Some people don't live in states with any quality public options (which is over half of them, really, but some really are scraping the bottom of the barrel: e.g., Alaska, the Dakotas, Idaho. . .). CA residents in particular are really fortunate w/respect to their public options: even the community colleges offer a quality education.

15 western states participate in a regional tuition program. Don't know all the details but when I lived in SD, many kids went to school in MN.

people keep saying this, but I have a hard time believing the graduates from the lowest ranked (or non-ranked...) ABET school are making the same as those from MIT/Berkley/GT etc

Absolutely zero schools are worth $90k a year. How absurd.

Completely false. Graduates and students of the schools listed above are highly recruited and sought after by Engineering companies for jobs and internships etc. To be clear, not saying other graduates of lesser ranked schools aren't going to find jobs, but I know for a fact graduates of the schools listed above are greatly sought out.

The University of Virginia.

Does anyone actually pay the full price? Of all the schools my kids were admitted to (no financial aid), only one did not offer a merit discount, so we scratched that one from the list.

Kalamazoo College. Easily the best college in Michigan and top 3 in the United States. It is better than all the Ivies. I cannot believe people do not know this.
