Honestly I would save your money for a good graduate school.
The problem with bachelor's degrees these days is that you only need like a 2.0 or something to graduate, which means any moron can get one.
I think a master's degree from a top school has a better value than a degree from some small, overpriced liberal arts college.
people are always making jokes about sarah lawrence being a school that lots of lesbians go to. i never really got it, and didn't put much stock into it...until a girl i went to high school w/ went there and came out as a lesbian 
I live less than a mile away from this place..... the people that go there are all pretty strange. , not gonna lie. It is a lot of artsy/rocket scientist people.
graduate school is more or less bull shit. it's great to get a graduate degree, if it's free and you have a job while you are getting it. it is just another way for schools to sucker you out of your money and delay the inevitable. i went to graduate school, huge mistake i might add, as did lots of my friends in various subjects from great schools and seems like the people i know with the most amount of education are suckers because we have lots of paper but we didn't get the great job we all thought we would. my suggestion is go to a great undergraduate school, get a fantastic internship get a good job then make your company pay for grad school.
although it really depends on your area of study, some people have to go to grad school and if you fall into that category don't fuck around with a masters, just get your PhD.

You can get a free ride to grad school if you pick the right degree. In psychology (Ph.D., not PsyD.), usually you get free tuition. I had a fellowship for the first two years so I got a stipend without doing any work. Then I got an RA/TA and got a little bit of money for living expenses. I wasn't earning a lot, but I made money doing very little work.
I didn't get the Ph.D. because I hated academia, but my master's degree served me well in my career.

^if it worked for you congrats and you didn't pay anything so that's win all around. not saying it doesn't work for everyone but from my understanding with some disciplines you get a masters as a consolation prize for not getting the phd.

As per going to a big-name/expensive gradute school:
Depends how much money/job security/chances of employment are. I have a masters degree from a private university, have a great paying job, and I am *still* fuming at the amount of money I have to dish out every month for my college loans. It actually sickens me, as it is nearly what I pay in rent.
Unless you are going into a profession that really likes to see a nametag (ie: law, etc....) going to private graduate school is a complete waste of money. I could have went public, got the same exact job, got paid the same......but paid half as much for my loans every month.
Yes, its sounds pretty to have a big name on my degree, but I am only 3 years removed from grad school and I could give a shit anymore about the name......
