Which are you talking about? The "working middle class" or families making more than $150k/year? Those are 2 separate groups

This. Unfortunately these sorts of colleges don't have the best interest of the student in mind. Public colleges aren't much better but they aren't asking for body parts to be sold to get a degree there.

It's worth it to all the admin, professors, folks who get the guaranteed non bankruptable loans, etc.

If you live in a major MSA, that's about what a married couple who are both school teachers, or a teacher and a cop, or a lot of other regular professionals would bring home as a couple. It's better than a factory baw married to a house cleaner, but it's far from rich.

The cost of college can be exorbitant, or it can be affordable. Most outrageous college expenses are due to room, board, out-of-state tuition or private school tuition.
In Louisiana, virtually everyone lives within commuting distance of a four-year university and multiple two-year colleges. The laughable costs are mostly by choice.
While college definitely costs more than it should, a college degree can still be affordable.
UNO costs less than 5k per semester, so 40 grand plus books for 4 years.
Looks like ULM and other state schools cost similar.

Well I’m certainly not contributing enough to my kids 529. In general I knew costs went up a lot but not damn near $400k for a 4 year degree. Insane

If I looked at college tuition and it was $90,000 for me and and more than half the students were receiving a $62,000 discount that would be a big red flag.

What you study in school matters much much much more than where you studied, with very few exceptions.
This. In undergrad I’d say it only matters where you studied for finance/econ grads that wants to do IB or consulting. Anything else and there’s a gray area where it doesn’t matter

It doesn’t. That’s an extreme outlier

It just depends. Hedge funds higher a lot of liberal arts degrees kids from Ivy League.

The elites kids ain’t in class dude. They are hanging out jacking off with their buds from Exeter which they also went to kindergarten with. Like Hunter Biden was ever in class lolololol.

Probably 95% of undergrad degrees shouldn’t even be a degree field.

may as well make it a million per semester since no one will ever have to pay those loans back, potato said so

If everyone dropped out of Wellesley tomorrow, the world would keep turning and very few people would notice.
Inflated college prices are the result of non-dischargeable, unsecured, unverified student loans.
Makes me wonder if this screwed up FAFSA launch is intentional. No one is going to Wellesley if their FAFSA can’t be processed.

Exeter has intense academics
There are certainly schools where you don't have to work, and it's almost impossible to get kicked out of them, Rivers is a good example

Basically he just wrote into law what the Vandebilt’s, ED Whites, and Brother Martins should charge at a minimum for tuition. The price will be much higher once you add fees and tech fees.

Community Colleges are very underrated. In VA if you graduate from Community College you are guaranteed acceptance into UVA, VA Tech, William & Mary and other public universities. First two years for many are the routine freshman classes and electives. Go cheap for two years and still get a UVA degree.

FOAD. You don't take loans you don't believe you can pay back. That's adulting, rite? And screw their parents for not telling them that an $80k psychology degree isn't going to result in a lucrative career. Not the problem of any taxpayer.
