And actually the quality of education there is not that much greater than state ran school. But Princeton does play a great PR game. A recent study actually found that Princeton and all other "ivy league" school have worse ROI than state run school and you pay more to go to school where the rich and famous go. |
I don't go to an Ivy-League, but I go to a peer institution of the less competitive Ivy's (Carnegie Mellon University.) I pay less than I would've if I went to my in-state school (Penn State) because private institutions have amazing financial aid packages, and the school I go to has the highest average salary for graduates of any school in the country.
Public institutions are great for certain people, Ivy's and their peer institutions are great for others. It depends who you are.
