gollark: Over here all universities cost the same for in-country students, and they select almost entirely on academic whatever, which is nice.
gollark: Still unlikely to be worth it if you don't really need it for job reasons.
gollark: Okay, so maybe several tens of kilodollars instead?
gollark: Maybe it'll have more funlolz™ and whatever over a random reasonably priced one but frankly I doubt it's enough to justify the cost.
gollark: I doubt you'll get 200 kilodollars in financial benefit from it.
