@jeremyct I understand the premise and do think that long term that $825k will net more from investments vs. appreciated value of a home but $42,000 / 12 = $3,500. Don't think your interest will cover rent.
There needs to be a law that states that if a company offers a way for you to signup for their service online, then they should be required to allow a customer to cancel the service online as well. @ATT makes it impossible to cancel a line online and makes you call! Ridiculous!
@greta I never gave much weight to the US News & World Report rankings either and agree with your point about a popularity contest. For determining the rankings, perhaps using metrics like passing rates for the bar, employment statistics post graduation, or starting salaries?
