Harvey Mudd will cost $93K this upcoming year. Virginia Tech will cost $41K (in state). It is tough to justify a 2.3x difference in price.

It's hard to justify that sticker price too.


I see 37k, which includes room, board, and some modest personal spending.

Holy shit, that's for one year.

You're paying the sticker price of a brand new car every single year.

This is bonkers.


Yeah but after considering tons of financial aid , scholarships, discounts, forbearance plans, and other aid, it's not as bad as the 93k sticker price suggests. No one is writing a check for 93k. In return you get a degree with considerable earning power that pays off from higher wages that increase with inflation, whereas student loan payments are fixed and amortized over a decade.
