[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For what its worth, the so-called Big 3 here in DC seem to send at 2 or 3 students per class every year to this school.  They must think its "wroth" it. [/quote]

They're probably so rich there isn't a significant difference between the cost of Wake Forest and UVA. Just because some people are buying private helicopters doesn't mean it's worth it for me...[/quote]
I agree that the "worth it" argument is almost "useless" without context. We aren't buying helicopters but have told our kids they could go anywhere they were accepted and they'd graduate debt free. DD is at a school very similar to Wake (but not as Southern and everything that "Southern" typically entails). We're all very satisfied with her school and its $60,000 per year price tag. [/quote]

Well, there you go. If you're willing to spend that kind of money on Wake, it's your prerogative to do so. This thread might end up devolving into an argument about whether it's objectively a good ideato spend $60k a year on Wake Forest, which is silly because there is no objective answer. It all depends on personal values and what you see as a good use of money. [/quote]
The [i]choice[/i] to pay $60,000 per year for college (or whether "it's a good idea") is not open to an objective debate IMO. It's not a "Value"-based decision either IMO.  It's a subjective decision. We have the money saved for college and our kids can go where they want.  Our kid chose a school similar to WF and we're very satisfied, even with the $60k per year price tag.  If my kid loved WF, we'd be happy to have him there.  [/quote]
