Like it or not, the main cost of university is not from education or from helping graduates find jobs. It's true that anyone with an internet connection can access course material from top universities and from top professors. But only a university can get you a community, a network, a signal: you may call that prestige; society doesn't care.

I would also like to mention that the UC system is one of the more open, impactful universities when compared to the privates.

So more or less access to a country club. Isn't it?
