It’s not just the extra cost of higher priced universities, it is the opportunity cost of that money. For the sake of easier math, say the difference in cost over four years is $100K. Let’s, for the sake of argument, say you saved that money. On average, savings double every seven years. In fourteen years, that $100K is $400K. But…if you spent it and borrowed the money…well, you get my point.
