| No public school is worth 50k +. UCs are great if you're a California resident otherwise, I'm not sure what the argument for these schools could be. |

| No private school is worth 50+ out of pocket if you can attend an elite public for much less. Same ridiculous statement. |

Not ridiculous, just facts. Paying 50k for 400 person lectures, no guaranteed housing after 1st year or any year, and the host of other public school problems like safety because it's public property...You get the point of you have 250k to spend on an education go private, if not go to you local public. |

UCLA parent here. These are NOT facts. Have you ever attended UCLA, Berkeley, Michigan, etc.??? They are probably safer than USC, Hopkins, Chicago.... We're talking top publics, not some third tier state school like the one I went to! And I still never had 400 person lectures. |

| CalPoly SLO or San Jose State would be cheaper and better for STEM-focused students. |
