[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are any schools really worth $100k? [/quote]

yes, a few. but not BU[/quote]

No school is worth $100,000 a year. And even the Harvard and Yale students that don’t need financial aid will often have outstanding merit scholarships at slightly lower ranked schools that make them a better choice. But given how high stock market and real estate valuations are these days, there are a lot of families that can swing $100,000 for college.

And BU is very appealing for certain students. It’s a solid school in most fields and it’s located in the middle of Boston, which is probably the best city in the world to go to college. You can walk everywhere from BU. Fenway Park and Back Bay are your backyard. And living in a brownstone next to the Charles River is pretty nice for most students, once they get past that monstrosity on commonwealth where most freshmen live. But I hear that’s been upgraded recently so maybe it’s better now.

It’s not a surprise that even with their price tag they get about a 100,000 applicants. There are very few private universities that get more applicants. It’s like NYU. Lots of people want to be at a solid school in the middle of NYC or Boston.[/quote]
