With tuition at private and OOS schools averaging 45-50,000 per year and increasing exponentially every year, how is it a sane decision to take out 250,000 to 300,000 in loans (factoring in living expenses, books, fees, etc.) to go to one of these schools???
I understand if it's your only choice, but if you're fortunate enough to also be accepted in state, how can anyone justify going to one of these schools (even if it's highly ranked) instead of their state school
Is it really worth 100,000+ more to go to a top 20 private school vs. a much cheaper (but still way too expensive) state school? It definitely doesn't seem like it... especially when you factor in interest rates and the uncertainty over the future of physicians' reimbursements
Or does everyone just have rich parents?
