Tuition is too high if consumers do not do their homework before making one of their biggest lifetime investments. For those who do not worry about cost, they don't need to examine how educational institutions spend their budgets. If you care, you should pay attention. Are the buildings ostentatious and overly spacious, salaries inflated, many instructors protected with tenure, numerous non-academic programs and fees, very low teacher-to-student ratios in upper level undergraduate and graduate programs and excessive leveraging of institutional "reputation," among others factors. The more a consumer buys into expensive commodities, the higher the tuition and the more diluted the core business of student education and completion. If a potential student keeps focus on completing a particular credential, the more cost effectiveness of the tuition. (Find another way to "find yourself" that is cheaper than going to college.) Understand there is very little value placed by prospective employers as to where an academic credential is awarded as long as it is a regionally accredited institution. Sure, one can go to to an institution with an over-leveraged reputation and get ahead, but it will be costly. Don't forget the option of getting a transfer Associate degree at a community college that will substitute for the first two years of a Bachelor's degree. Be sure to get your transfer agreement/assurance from the senior receiving institution in writing at the time you start your transfer Associate degree. Also make sure that the courses transfer into your major and not just general transfers into unnecessary electives. This is critical so you do not lose credit for courses transferred that actually count in your major plan of study.

Is the opportunity cost of attending graduate school too high for college?

The opportunity cost of attending graduate school can be significant, depending on individual circumstances. It includes not only the direct costs of tuition and fees but also potential lost income from not working full-time during that period. For some, the long-term benefits of advanced degrees, such as higher earning potential and career advancement, may outweigh these costs. However, for others, particularly those in fields with less clear financial returns, the opportunity cost may indeed be too high.
