“I’ll pay for a good enough school”

[Twoin18]

@MirandaKnight

These schools would probably be considered good enough for many families but it could be argued that these schools do not seem to have the same bang for buck value that other schools have. They are almost as expensive as privates but without much of the benefits that top privates confer

Tastes differ. There are many full pay parents who will pay OOS for UCLA, Berkeley or UMich over comparable private schools like Boston College or USC, especially when “almost as expensive” means saving $10K or $15K per year.
