“Maryland, with great engineering, decent classics and, did I mention, absolutely FREE?”
I would advocate this one based on the cost alone. What a student would get from their education depends on them, and in some of the other cases you are paying for the prestige of the name, and the connections made there, not necessarily the academic content. (Which might be something to consider, actually- if he were going into management or something where networking is a big part.) Anyway, my 2 cents worth.

Yes, and that's the point. The value of the Rolodex one may develop at Harvard is difficult to measure in tangible terms, but it is far from negligible.
