    I feel that having a college degree is worth the difficulties of the process of getting it. I am planning on attending PSU for my Master's degree as well.

    The state tuition is rising, but it is everywhere else. The education and experience I am getting compared to some of my friends in various other colleges are just the same or even better in many aspects and I am paying significantly less than them. Being in the School of Business adds to this due to their high reputation.
