<p>Hey everyone. </p>
<p>People are complaining about tuition skyrocketing. But is the education still worth it?</p>
<p>I would be really interested to know</p>
<li>The maximum tuition you would pay for your dream school</li>
<li>The maximum tuition you would pay if community college was the only alternative to this dream school.</li>
</ol>
<p>I'll start</p>
<ol>
<li>$60,000 /yr </li>
<li>$100,000 / yr</li>
</ol>
<p>I'd have to take out a lot of loans...but:</p>
<ol>
<li>$50,000/year</li>
<li>$80,000/year</li>
</ol>
<p>Yea I would probably want to take out loans also </p>
<p>I wish I could figure out at what point the loans + interest will cost you more over a lifetime than the ivy diploma.</p>
<p>1) 50,000 $/year
0 $/year</p>
<p>cc is free in jersey for top 10%</p>
<p>really... that idea for jersey is pretty cool. </p>
<p>So you would pay 50k if you had all options open, but nothing if you only had 2 options open?</p>
<p>O i think i missread,
Well, I'd pay 50,000 regardless.</p>
<p>yea... i guess that would be 200k for 4 years plus paying interest instead of somebody paying you interest. (money working against you instead of for you)</p>
<p>then again, I (key word) am not paying for undergrad</p>
<p>lucky you .</p>
<p>Money was never an issue with my family and I could have attended any school I wanted at any price without needing scholarships or applying for any aid, so I was lucky. I guess that makes my maximum limitless...</p>
<p>However, I think it would be absurd to ask my family to pay more than $200,000, or $50,000 per year. No education is worth that kind of money. Honestly, the education I'm recieving from a state school at 1/5 of that price is as good as any Ivy. Paying $50,000 a year would have been a stupid choice unless it were a school I really, REALLY wanted to attend for personal reasons other than "educational quality", aka prestige/ego stroking.</p>
