[quote=Anonymous]I think it's worth it for the prestige of a well-known school, OP. I know that "prestige" does not translate to health and happiness, but I've seen how their Ivy League degree have opened interview doors for my friends. Essentially it doesn't propel you to great heights as much as it acts as a safety net when you're looking for a job. A brand name school saves your resume from going into the automatic reject bin. I have more assets than you and my oldest is at a private T50 that now costs 97K a year. Is it worth it? NO!!! But he's autistic and can only do well in his very specific field of interest... which does not exist at our decent in-state flagship that accepted him! Ugh. If he had been a little more flexible, I would have been so happy for him to attend the state flagship. [/quote]
