Message: [QUOTE="Paesano, post: 2525982, member: 5631"] I don't disagree. It has gotten to the point where very few private schools are worth the cost and, even then, it depends on your financial situation. If you are in a position to get a decent amount of financial aid, the private schools look better. If you are in the category of making over $250K a year, the value scale tips toward the in state option quickly. If you are filthy rich, who cares, go private. Basically, upper middle class is a tough place to be in this example. The analysis also depends on your intended career. How much value will you get out of the network you will be exposed to? The very best private schools with great networks and great financial aid are tough to beat. But the in state schools start to become an attractive option quickly as you move down the list. You get to the point where you say, yeah, that school is better but not THAT much better to justify the extra cost. [/QUOTE]
