<p>The opportunity cost argument is why I decided to go to public school… would’ve been about $100,000 for me to go to what was originally my first choice college, an almost Ivy level private school. I decided that given the other things I could do with the money, the marginal benefit I would get from the private college wasn’t worth the opportunity cost. Wow, you can tell the econ AP test is coming up haha… opportunity cost, marginal benefit… vocab words. :)</p>
