In the late 60's (and here's another reason to hate on Early Boomers), the cost of in-state tuition at state schools was still pretty cheap. I graduated in '69, and I don't think tuition was ever more than $500 a semester.

Now, inflation had already started to hit the private schools. I decided to forego Socially-Inept Institute of Nerd, and Snooty Garden State University, because my schoolteacher parents made too much for me to get a fucking grant, and I didn't want to start life with two or three years income worth of debt.

I enjoyed my four years at Midwestern Hotbed of Treason, but I have occasionally wondered how life would have been different with an Ivy degree. One thing for sure, I would have been in debt.
