Between undergraduate and postgraduate I went about 70k in. But most of it was UConn being too expensive. I don’t think I could have learned this depth of knowledge on the internet. Just the very basics, but not the minutiae, which are very important at my level. The degree included access to fieldwork and clinical trial stuff I couldn’t do otherwise. What I will say is that if I had not been committed as a student to my education, it wouldn’t have been the same outcome.
