    The school is expensive, and in reality you are paying for name brand, but it is worth it. The connections that you make with people will lead you to success in your field.

    Cornell is expensive, and you will spend a lot more money just by living in Ithaca because things tend to be monopolized around here. However, you are going to a big name school with a great reputation, so why not invest in you as a human capital?
