[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry, I don't have a list of colleges that are worth $90k.
I didn't go to an Ivy so *perhaps* they might be. MIT probably is. 
I can only speak to my personal experience. I went to Emory in the '90s. Definitely not worth $90k, although I had a great experience there.
I'm sending my kids to William & Mary (full pay out of state, but worth the $60k-ish we spend) and GA Tech (amazing innovation there and definitely worth full pay out of state). My William & Mary kid is further along so I have more info on that school. He has had great opportunities - paid research jobs with multiple professors, a free trip to CA to present at a conference with a professor on a published paper they co-wrote, great help finding internships and financial support when the first internship was unpaid, free LSAT prep, etc. Plus a great group of smart kids in his competitive career-focused extracurricular, a busy fraternity social schedule and a lovely girlfriend. He's on track to graduate early. 
He had friends who went to expensive schools and some who went to the Univ of Maryland for far less. I feel like their outcomes are much more dependent on the individual kid and that person's work ethic and drive than the college.[/quote]
