I get your argument, but the cost is far past $1. $11,110 per semester out of state for guaranteed tuition plan and $1,185 in fees. in state is $1,185 in fees and $2,248 per semester. So here are starting and mid-career salaries (medians) for different colleges: http://www.payscale.com/best-colleges/best-engineering-colleges.asp http://www.payscale.com/best-colleges/best-engineering-colle... And I guarantee you 100k a year buys you a MUCH nicer house in Atlanta than in LA (further skewing the value).
