Is a $150K Bachelors degree from an expensive private school any better than a much less expensive one from a good state university ???
Unless you have someone footing all the bills for you, this should be a major part of the decision. Have read to many stories (and know of a few examples personally) of kids coming out of expensive universities with degrees that will earn them a $30K salary (if they can find a job at all) and they have $125K+ in loans to payoff. A BA in Music Education and $150K in loans does not make for a good future (an specific example that was in the news last spring)..
