Well, when it comes to college, what you're paying for are the classes

going to measure it's worth with that in mind. Having a dinner with

you're filthy stinking rich.
You could view it as paying for classes and a degree, and some colleges
certainly operate it that way. I look at it as more of paying for the
environment, much like I'd pay entry to a nice buffet filled with
delicious treats to choose from <g>.
Yes. If you know why you're going, that's what you'd do. Those who go
because Daddy sez, they just want the classes and the degree. Preferably
without even the classes. :-)
