just like law school, the value comes from connections and the piece of paper. If you look strictly at the value of the education proper, it will always be overpriced. That's why its worth spending money to go to an ivy or mit or stanford. When I was raising money, it was easy to leverage pedigree (top school) and connections (lots of rich friends) to reach my target. These are benefits from college that aren't reflected in the degree.
