Online grads sue USC

[ashkir]

LOL Wasn't it obvious to students that they were getting ripped off with their 100K online masters degrees?

Maybe it's the next "Bubble".

God. I hope so. I'm in California and am proud that we have great universities here. But holy shit, I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. They're extremely expensive, will put you in massive debt, and massively overpriced. If I did the same degrees I have now that I found on DegreeForum at my local university or even USC I would've paid a fortune. 

USC would've been:
- $342,592 for a BA if I lived on campus or $302,304 off-campus and travel 3 hours to it. USC is $75-85k a year https://admission.usc.edu/learn/cost-financial-aid/
- $195,924 for their MBA https://www.marshall.usc.edu/programs/mb...ancial-aid
- $101,353 for their Master of Management (similar to my MAOL) 
- $128,220 for a doctorate in administration (they don't have a DHA but a variety of doctorates, but similar prices). 

$768,089 total for my degrees...

USC is a school for the children of rich people. They charge so much for undergraduate 4 year degrees, which is beyond ridiculous. I know one person who did a BA and MA because she didn't come from money. After her scholarship, she still ended up with almost* 400k in debt

*For some reason this part of my post didn't save. Her parents made just enough to not qualify for a lot of tuition waivers, so her scholarships didn't go far enough.
