Will "the college experience" become less important when choosing a college?

S20 applied to the University of Wisconsin which is OOS for us. They are not known to offer any meaningful merit scholarships to OOS students, but he did qualify to apply for one scholarship. He ended up getting accepted to the University but not getting the scholarship. The COA to have the Madison experience comes at a token of $55K per year. No thank you!!! Similar “experiences” can be had for 1/3 of the cost and we knew that prior to applying.
