[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know about overrated—I think the real question is more about being "overpriced" or whether there is enough value for the cost.

I firmly believe in a college education, but there are many cases where it is not worth the cost anymore. It's sad that we are throwing the "baby out with the bathwater." The answer isn't don't go; the answer is to fix these ridiculous, unrelenting, and never-ending price increases. [/quote]
The price of an education should never be $90-99k/year like these colleges have normalized for the upcoming fall. I attended an Ivy and wouldn't say my experience was worth much more than $40k. I'd likely be a donor today if the college didn't try bankrupting me for the first 10 years of my adulthood.[/quote]

Housing and feeding kids for 20k a year is pretty reasonable. That would leave 20k for  tuition which seems low [/quote]
Is it? These colleges have enough money to run off of free tuition, room and board indefinitely. I would much prefer the money go towards reducing COA for everyone rather than infinitely constructing.[/quote]
