In addition to the other replies, it's also worth mentioning that they have an incredibly large endowment, worth $27.4 billion last year, the fifth largest of any private university in the US. That's compared to an average of $1.1 billion, and a median of just $200 million, less than 1% of MIT's.

And, for that matter, to enrol in high-quality trades programs, because we need people who can actually build, maintain, and repair, too. Imagine the technical and infrastructure improvements. We would leap ahead by every metric.
