<p>I agree that it definitely depends on what degree you’re going for. For example, this ranking: <a href=“Economics rankings: Economics Departments | IDEAS/RePEc”>http://ideas.repec.org/top/top.econdept.html</a> holds BU far above Tufts in economics.</p>
<p>But yes, nothing could be worth having to pay off $240,000 + interest right out of college. Unless you’re somehow not paying it yourself, that’s pretty crippling.</p>
