<p>Your last paragraph is the one I ponder the most (Rose is expensive)
“Whether the value balance tips for or against Rose depends on your individual circumstances. I would definitely not recommend taking out $160,000 in loans for Rose-Hulman or any undergraduate education. That’s just too much of a burden to take on in an uncertain world. Is it worth $80,000? $20,000? Completely dependent on your individual situation, of course.”</p>
