The public schools are not worth the ticket price if you are out of state. |
That’s not a universal truth. Berkeley, UCLA, and Michigan are worth it in many cases. Florida, because the OOS tuition is already low and also happens to based on actual credit hours (which further reduces the COA for applicants with a lot of AP credits) is also worth it for many. UF OOS at $145K through graduation vs. Pepperdine at $390K through graduation or Colgate at $370K through graduation? C’mon now … |
My DD at UCLA wanted rah rah w good academics and is very happy. Going to the Rose Bowl is a pain, but she makes the trek. Also goes there for flea market sometimes as well. |
Blah blah blah. My DD gradudated from UCLA last year and has a great job making six figures even after having a major that is consistently ridiculed on this board. She had an amazing college experience there and it was worth every penny. Icing on the cake was that I got to spend a lot of time in Southern California several times a year when I went to visit her. |
