This solution is missing the chance at connections made by attending a school teeming with the useless scions of the rich, who will be handed plum jobs upon graduations. You're not going to have a chance to hook up with something like Skull & Bones sitting there doing remote learning the way you will by coughing up the fees to attend one of the Ivy League schools.

I think this is overrated. I went to a rinky dink community college. It was a very urban school (meaning, no grassy hillside campus, we were in the middle of NYC and students had jobs and families to go) and did not have a campus life, so I didn't make many connections with my other students. I still ended up with a great degree in CS and a great job. For sure if I went to a campus I'd have more opportunities to network and maybe be further in my career, but I achieved success without that.
