Is BOCO worth it?

We are in Florida and my son has been accepted to BOCO as a composition major - does anyone have any input on how worth it the program is? We would spent little to nothing at Stetson University and/or FSU music schools in Florida, both of which have accepted him. But his dream has always been to go out of state- preferably the northeast. Intellectually I feel that it’s crazy to spend &55,000 plus per year for undergraduate…then again, I’m not the artist in question. I’m also concerned about the pandemic. Are people from out of state really shelling out this much money to go to BOCO- especially during these uncertain times? I will feel like a real idiot if he passes up the Florida school offers and ends up at home doing online classes!
