Hard to believe the ROI is worth paying that much rather than going to a UC school and then to the best grad school you can. Maybe some degrees are worth it, but if you're a typical undergrad, seems like a lot. Schools are great salesmen, but eventually you graduate and good times at college fade but debt doesn't. I don't mean to be a downer — great accomplishment by the prospective student-- but it's depressing what the cost of education has become.
