Why does a large endowment make a school worth the money? 
It often allows them to provide better aid, which is most often need based at schools of this quality but the connection to being "worth the money" isn't clear at all. [/quote]

Pretty sure Princeton gives every student living expense stipends for internships or commuting, and that there and at similar schools, on campus-job pay is quite high. The on-campus jobs at such schools also tend to be easy; the hard jobs like food service are unionized at Swarthmore (for example), to my knowledge. For high-endowment urban schools, kids get Lyft passes. And so on.

Lyft passes and ease of campus job are not two main considerations when deciding about whether a school is worth the money  :lol: [/quote]
