GuestDesmond makes a good point: One of the advantages of better schools is stronger and more motivated peers.

ParticipantI can only speak for my field of education – chemical engineering – but save for a few counterexamples, many of the top rated schools are public schools. A Stanford undergraduate degree holds no more weight than a degree from the University of Illinois, for example.
As long as you are a good student in an accredited program, you can cherry pick your graduate schools – even the top ones – because your competition is greatly limited. On top of that, since you are covered by a stipend the tuition is not a factor. Not that a graduate degree automatically means a lot, but I digress.
I realize this isn’t a typical situation, but unless you are going to law school, I think the expensive school thing never will pay off. My better half may disagree with me, of course.

ParticipantHow much can you truly save vs how much lost income when you don’t graduate in 4 years? Especially when you go to a UC or a CSU. UCSD tuition is $13,234/yr, if you go to JC, you’ll save on GE classes, and a couple math classes. But JC transfer usually take 5-6 years to graduate with the same degree vs 4. So, you’re saving $13-26k, but then if you get out and get a job for $40k, then your $13k-26k savings become negative saving of $14k-27k. This is assuming you go to a UC near home. That CSU cost number is about half of UC.
