I do agree with you that it is an opportunity given the higher costs of private colleges, but if they are looking for out-of-state opportunity, I question their value at $23K for tuition and a total of $31K with room and board. Seems that if you are coming out of state and looking at a Babson or Wellesley, there would be better state options within one's home state, but of course, this varies state to state. Unless UMass repositions itself better, I question whether it can be a competitive alternative to a more expensive private. Again, thanks for your post.Jim Fonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15430038044099869839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749037544065087577.post-39338485753267155802010-01-09T11:39:33.486-05:002010-01-09T11:39:33.486-05:00You fail to consider the fact that, given highly escalating costs at private colleges and universities, UMASS could cut into the privates' share of the market, particularly with aggressive promotion of their Honors and high profile programs.Danhttp://www.college-scholarships.comnoreply@blogger.com
