Public and private college grads rank about equally in life satisfaction.

<p>I agree with this.
While my D who attended a private 100% need met school got a great education, so did her sister who attended an in state directional university.
In fact, in several ways, I think the larger school was a better experience.
I would never pay extra for a " name".

Bachelor’s degree recipients from private schools graduated with higher average debt than those with four-year degrees from public schools. A typical private non-profit college graduate in 2011-2012 who borrowed to complete their education graduated with $32,308 in loans (those graduating from private for-profit colleges owed even more, at about $40,038), compared with $25,640 among public university graduates the same year.
