gollark: Possibly.
gollark: I mean that the expensiveness is probably a consequence of other weirdness, like the way the whole "prestige" thing with it seem to work, and that apparently much of the value in it is just signalling and not education.
gollark: The US's college system seems kind of insane, and would probably be less expensive if it wasn't like that.
