Is Paying $100,000 for College Really Worth It?

As per @Jeff_Selingo’s latest article in Intelligencer, at least 16 institutions will top $100,000 in cost of attendance for the 2026-2027 academic year. Am example here: Columbia, Barnard Raise Tuition, Cost of Attendance to Top $100,000 And while many colleges are offering tuition discounts and merit aid to help support the cost, “selective institutions operate differently,” says @Jeff_Selingo. “They have long benefited from enough demand to continue raising prices without widely discounting tuition.” The question now is: will families continue to accept these increases? Is paying $100,000 for college really worth? Is a $100,000 college better than a $75,000 college to account for the difference? Let us know your thoughts and personal experiences below!
