A semester of tuition at a top-50 private university is $20-25k. Seems reasonable.

NEITHER of them "seem reasonable"!
It's reasonable from several different angles. Economics: The goods are priced lower than the competition. You don't negotiate prices against yourself. ROI: as aianus mentions. Affordability: it's about the same cost as a car, and lots of people own cars.
$15k is two to three months salary after you graduate and get a job. The ROI is off the charts.
Maybe comparable was the word the parent post was searching for.
