60k debt for Ivy League or free state education?

<p>Wolverine, you should know that I regularly advise kids on this board against going into debt even above 24,000 for a college education. I consider, however, that over the years you and I have aquired significant critical reasoning skills and are able to dissect a situation enough to know that while it may be ill advised if one would like to make a living as a missionary to go into even one dollar’s worth of debt, this situation is on the opposite end.</p>

<p>I also will acknowledge that it is at the very outer reaches of what I would consider acceptable for a certain type of education, but this young African American man will have opportunities from this which will be more than marginally better than 60K a year, imho.</p>

<p>Anyway, I could be wrong. It’s not a general stance for me, just in this case.</p>

<p>In general, I am quite debt averse, myself.</p>

<p>I see this as a “special case” when all of the facts are on the table.</p>
