So, the average school day is roughly 7.5 hours. And if you multiply that by the roughly 180 days that kids are in school, it comes out to be at least 1.2 million students a year

Does It Matter Where You Go to College?
Meet Ben. He’s a high school senior from a middle class family in Massachusettes who is choosing where to attend college next year. He’s down to two schools: prestigious Boston College, or the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, his state’s top public campus. Even with the generous financial aid package from BC, he would still graduate with a big mound of loans. UMass, meanwhile, would be more than $15,000 a year cheaper.
Which should Ben pick? Prestige or price?
With the cost of higher education climbing every year, and student debt surpassing $1 trillion, more and more young people will have to decide whether to make that trade-off. It begs the question: Does it really pay to go to an elite university, financially speaking? Researchers have been investigating this issue since at least the 1980s. And their findings tend to show that when it comes to future earnings, where you go to college counts.

I finally submitted my acceptance today. I spent a month mulling it over and weighing my options, but I think I knew I wanted to go here before I even got admitted.
Can’t wait for this fall!
