Is $2,400 a year for college bad?

What do yall think? Is 2,400 too much for a year?

Even at 20+ times that amount a college may be worth its price:

Could you elaborate a little on your question? $2,400 cost of tuition, major, what college, etc?

Of course, Forbes readers are more likely to have the money to pay for expensive colleges than most people.

$2,400 is the cost of tuition and housing. I am going in undecided at the College of Holy Cross

That sounds like it’s even less expensive than some Community Colleges. Excellent

Congratulations! Great university and looks like you received a generous support package!

I agree -it sounds great!

That’s practically free (my kids’ tuition next year will be over $100,000, public).

Sounds like it’s too much. Hold out to see if they can get you under $2K. :wink:

I would consider their paying for a large portion of your living expenses as paying you to attend their school.

Based on your other posts, you may be having a little bit of “buyer’s remorse,” worrying that it isn’t prestigious enough. Seriously, that’s less than I paid for my undergrad 35 years ago. You can easily make more than that working over the summer. Save the money for grad school, a semester abroad, a down payment on a house…you get where im going with this, right? You will get a great education at Holy Cross; take that deal and run!

$100K a year for tuition only at a public university? Where is this?!

What college costs $100,000 a year?

$2700 for Holy Cross is great.

Three in college, $34,000 in state, $37,000 OOS with merit, $40,000 OOS merit and FA.

It’s an amazing deal - topnotch university for actually less than it’d cost you to live at home and commute ?!?!!
(At first I thought it was a joke post because it’s so amazing that I couldn’t envision someone being serious about wondering if Holy cross is worth it at that cost).
Congratulations! :clap: Now work hard, enjoy your college experience, take advantage of every opportunity, and learn everything you can!
