There isn't any difference between in and out of state for private universities (as far as I know). My undergrad was at a lower tier university and wasn't nearly that expensive (of course that was back in the 80's). Grad school is a different story as you are normally paid to go to school.
The value proposition is a very real question and I don't have an answer for that. I'd have a tough time telling my son that it is worth the debt load. I think there are other viable routes to a similar end. But it really depends on the field. What I do firmly believe is that odds are a student today very well might not end up working in the field they are currently studying.
