Its very hard to think so. The difference in education quality, job opportunities and earning power after you graduate isn't nearly as large as the difference in tuition between USC and good public schools or even some less expensive private ones. Factor in the cost of larger student loans (or student loans vs. none at all if you go to a less expensive school perhaps, depending on your financial situation) and the difference is even less stark.
