Let's drop the comparatives to Ivy, but consider this question:
Which would serve your son best as a job / career candidate, your in-state tuition university or High Point at $60K plus? I think that is the punch point....the economics of high education. The undeniable best of all words is a military academy degree free with service after graduation. After that it is value on a dollar. Any rational analysis of High Point comes in thumbs down except for wanting to play Division 1 sports. Middle Tennessee State has that too, would the debate rage there too if they started a D1 lax program? Absolutely.
I agree with you but there is one scenario that would make the choice to Highpoint a good one
Full ride made up of half lax money and half merit money. Then the kid goes for free and plays D-1 and get's perfect grades and then applies to the MBA program at Wharton...
