--and besides that, you'll be saddling yourself with ridiculous student loans.

I'm just kind of like, why? It seems like most states have at least one really good Higher Ed/Student Affairs graduate program (if not, there's the Academic Common Market), and wouldn't in-state tuition be less than Dotcom University?

I believe so.

Also, if you have to carefully weigh the pros and cons to the point where you will have to explain away the cons and justify why you chose that dotcom, DON'T DO IT.

If you're able to make the pros outweigh the cons, which will only happen in certain fields, go for it. But there will always be dotcom universities that I absolutely advise against regardless of anything else--I think there was a thread about that.
