<prompt> Human: I am given the opportunity to go to a state school in New England.East Coast It is completely free, except for those darn text books and transport. The school isnt all that great but it is better than majority of all.University of Massachusetts Boston I wont have to pay for the 4 years i attend this school. But i would have to pay if i plan on getting an Masters or a PhD.Which i would for MastersThan there is this better school in the greater Boston area, which runs up to 20k a year. And this school is top 100 schools in America. This school is definitely better than the one i mentioned above. But for the price tag i dont really know if i should go. I will have to take our loans in order to attend if i choose too. Is this a good idea? I know a lot of people who are 100K in debt and it seems like a common thing with a lot of people on college. Is there like a secret trick i dont know about being in debt?Assistant: What degree do you plan on pursuing? I know a lot of people who are 100K in debt and it seems like a common thingThis is a really bad way to justify spending 100k and being in debt for 20 years... I would say go the cheaper route. More often than not, unless you are in a top 25 school, this ranking doesnt matter. Human: In my mind right now isMD in Computer EngineeringOr MD in Ketchup Mixing :... jkAssistant: Theres no value in paying more for an undergrad engineering degree. Engineering is extremely standardized under ABET: you dont get paid more for having a fancy undergrad engineering degree. Go to the free school now and pay up for a nice grad school later on.Human: When you say Nice grad schoolWhat is that price range? 30k a year? If i am going to pay 30 a year i would have to be hired right out of grad school than.  <response>: If youre going to grad school for engineering you should be getting it completely paid for -- because theres ample well paying jobs in engineering all of the engineering grad students I know have school paid for plus a stipend. If the school is my Branson my two cents are that it is an entrepreneurial school not and engineering school and its definitely more about the networking than then education in my opinion.
