- Elite private colleges underperform compared to flagship public institutions
- The University of Texas at Austin had a higher return on investment than USC
- But the very top colleges - the eight that make up the Ivy League - are worth it
Prestigious private colleges like Fordham, Rice, Duke and Northwestern by comparison cost in the region of $70,000 and $80,000 a year but only offer returns of about $135,000 compared to the $265,500 Ivy League degrees generated.
