Now, go back up and compare to the true cost of going to college.

You see, the true goal is to go to a school for a lot lower price.

The second goal is to get a degree that you can actually do something with. [/quote]

Can you provide a citation for your ROI numbers?  The very first link on google shows VT as the top Virginia school, which stands in marked contrast to your listing.

The Georgetown study also shows VT above UVA (but below W&L and VMI)  https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/collegeroi/

At the very least, it seems you were being just a touch selective in the ROI results you selected to post.

College ROI is a slippery thing.  Males make more than females for some reason, so colleges with higher male to female ratios (e.g. VMI but also VT) tend to have higher average lifetime earnings.  However, if you did that comparison apples to apples (average male to average male), the story might be different.  Likewise, choice of major makes a significant impact on earnings, particularly in the short run.  So schools with a higher percentage of engineering graduates (e.g. VT) may seem to have higher earnings than another school.  But if you did that comparison controlling for major only comparing graduates of the same major, the story again could be quite different.  [/quote]

Yes...and this should be a separate thread altogether since it's all very interesting, but gets lost in the FCV DA comments on here  :P [/quote]

Yep.  I lost the overall thread context when reading the prior comment.[/quote]
