[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts are annoying and there is no satisfying anyone. For those that can afford it, they’ve deemed the $90k worth it for their reasons. For those that can’t or don’t have the option due to being denied, of course they’re going to dismiss the worth. Then add in all the different interpretations of a successful outcome, how can there possibly be a consensus.

The most annoying thing is when people use them to make some faux-moral point about how much they value education by paying for the most expensive schools relative to all of these other made-up people who apparently don’t value education. And these invented people are wasting their money on expensive cars, handbags, and vacations (it’s always those three) and then don’t let their kids go to an expensive school. Comes up multiple times on every thread related to college cost, even when that isn’t the question asked.[/quote]

Horses for courses.  An expensive private may have a program, class sizes and opportunities that make sense.  Likewise, a flagship may have a social life and a program, especially in STEM, that make it a better choice.

Keeping in mind that applicants don’t get to pick among the best private and the best public for them, they have to choose the best of what they have available and what they can afford.[/quote]
