so i am under the impression there are many schools like this and also the fact that tuition could be well over 34k at other places. however, 15k is still a lot more than what we pay here.
Yes, but you are going to some of the best schools in the world. To put it into perspective my sister in law has a degree in Biosomething from USC. When she immigated up here after marrying one of my brothers, she found work in research with UBC (and mind you in the high 5 figures). She was competing against people who had masters in their science programs and with work experience. So sometimes a degree from a top tier university does matter.
