Is USC(Accounting) worth the cost/debt?

You have come up with an equation with results similar to those that are deciding between UCLA for 5 years (roughly 35k x 5 = $175k) versus USC for 4 (roughly $60 x 4 = $240k) Diff is 65k give or take. Many do the same evaluation and go USC for the difference. In this eval, people also factor in that student can be earning money in 4 years versus being in school that fifth year, so it may be less of a difference. A lot of CA kids have parents sitting on a huge bank account (in the house equity) which is what I suspected was the case from your original post, so the debt that may sound huge to others really isn’t in the scheme of things. I think your decision is made?!
