[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how everyone is like

"It is a great school!"

But the median salary 12 years after college is $62K a year.

Um, no.  You don't pay full pay for a college like that. [b]  How is this even a question[/b].  [/quote]

[b]Because not everyone is so concerned with ROI, but rather the quality of education the kid receives[/b]. Some get this, some don't.[/quote]

You mean privileged white people? [/quote]

I'm the one who wrote the bolded.  Not privileged (maybe we need to define that?) but I have the old fashioned belief that the purpose of going to college is to get a good education.  DC wants to major in Classics. Fine, the return on investment is going to be poor I'm sure, but I'm not going to
refuse to pay because of that choice. [/quote]

[b]DC should try Oxford or some other strong college overseas.[/b][/quote]

Why? There are plenty of good universities in the U.S. with strong programs in this field.  DC is at one of them. [/quote]

For the cost of full freight at M you can get much more value overseas, plus a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I wouldn't do it for a heavy STEM subject, but for Classics there's amazing and cheaper options in Canada and the UK, for example.[/quote]
