You are pretty dumb if you are paying 17k a year unless it's for graduate school. The only number that matters is average debt upon graduation. Which is under 20k for many public universities.
$17k/year is not unheard of in the North East. Rutgers is a public school and is just above $15k for in-state students. Ofcourse, everything in NJ is high: salaries, COL, and taxes... so it evens out.
I was looking at my university requirements of A.B./Lib Arts and it looks like they dropped the math requirements and replaced it with a course called "Quantitative Reasoning" for incoming 2013 students. They also scrapped the science requirements and replaced it with "Science and Technology w/ lab" requirements. Not sure what that is.
There was also a quantitative reasoning requirement at my alma mater (courses in math, science, or computer science) for a BA.
A BS in LA required a slightly more stringent quantitative reasoning requirement.
And these, of course, are just minimum requirements. You can always pursue more of the maths and sciences for your elective courses. I suggest that people take more econ courses, math courses (algebra, trig, calc) and courses in chemistry and physics. Those can potentially be extremely helpful and useful.
I basically chose to go to the school closest to my parent's home. It's often cheaper if you go closer to home... cuts out a bunch of expenses. It's not the best way to choose a school, but it worked out for me. They actually have a good network.
You really can't compare an LA degree from Princeton to one from any other university... obviously, any degree from Princeton will have merit
Any degree from any good school will have merit (with a few exceptions). I think that's the basis of institutionalized education. Why would anyone spend time obtaining an education without merit?

Devry has ABET accreditation. You can't rely on accreditation alone.
DeVry is sometimes ABET-accredited for engineering technology, never engineering. There is a difference.
