Yes. In fact I was one of those people when I went to college (many moons ago). I gave up a full ride to my state school to go to a private school in the Boston area. But since then, college costs have gone up way more than inflation and costs are a much bigger factor now.
We are also talking about an accounting degree. If we were talking about a poli sci degree or something like that then maybe I would change my mind.
I would encourage my kid to go to UMD and give him maybe half the cost of tuition so he can invest in his future in other ways.
I recognize that is MY choice and OPs choice may be different.
p.s.: there is also a decent amount of controversy going on right now at Georgetown. I’m not sure if the adults are running the ship vs the students.
