We visited my granddaughter at a Midwest state school last week.

I was actually surprised with how beautiful the university grounds were. They likely spend a fortune on landscaping alone.

Our older grandson went to the same school studying CS and EE. I’d say he’s doing very well.

I agree education is over priced, much like any other investment or asset in this day and age.

Perhaps my world view is narrow, but what are examples of these “affordable” schools with spotty wifi?

I think the old buildings or drab dorm argument isn’t a huge deal. Call me old fashioned, but I’d prefer my grand kids being safe but having some challenges. Otherwise, we’re keeping them in a bubble. As long as their is climate control and cleanliness, I’m fine with them not getting a 4.5 star hotel treatment.
