"It costs $58,600 a year to attend Yale, although there is generous financial aid for those in need. That’s $234,400 over the course of four years. An in-state student can go to the University of Connecticut for $22,622 a year, or $90,488 for the four years. That’s a savings of $143,912–which is more than the lifetime increase in earnings for males and only somewhat less than the gain for females.
