[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No college is worth $75K tuition (or $90K+ once you add room & board) but  ...

it's an experience, like traveling to a foreign country, and if you have the money and don't need loans, it can be justified. However, it's not because it's the only way to be well educated.

[b]As Matt Damon (famous dropout from Harvard) wrote and said in the movie 'Good Will Hunting': 
"You dropped a hundred and fifty grand on an education you coulda' got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library"[/b]. [/quote]

The issue with this quote is that it assumes getting an education is all about reading the book. [b]A lot, if not most, of the intellectual challenge and growth comes from interactions with peers and profs. [/b][/quote]

So are the people there actually smart, or do they just exist inside a 90k bubble? I keep hearing this whole “elite schools aren’t for nerds” thing, like IQ suddenly doesn’t matter. Okay… so then what exactly are people doing in those environments? Please don't tell me weekend trip to some guy's private island.[/quote]
