The cost of the private Military Academy I attended in my high school and junior college years was ridiculous then in terms of dollars - and it's ridiculous now.
The experience prepared me big time for my working life as an adult in regards the discipline - however, it did NOTHING in the way of an advanced edu.
No, if I ever decide to attend law school, or petroleum engineering school, it will not be at a private edu. It will be @ the Univ. Texas or Oklahoma State Univ. or Oklahoma Univ. or for law school, practically anywhere but a private edu.
Just my experience.....
