An Exeter Education, Revalued

On this fine day of graduation, many of you seniors, (and parents of seniors) probably feel very nostalgic over leaving behind the place you gave so much time (read: money) to. With that being said, now that you are all going off into the Real World, let’s see how worth it your Exeter Education really was. We at the Humor Page have conducted very serious Google research on the matter. One year at Exeter costs $46, 905, for the academic year of 2014-2015. For the purpose of this exercise, we will assume the student in question is a four year boarder. That would mean a  total $187,620 over the course of four years. So, here is a list of things you can buy with an Exeter Education. 

1. 750,480 Chicken McNuggets (based on the four piece costing a dollar).

2. 12,516 Snuggies (according to the selling price of $14.99 on the official Snuggie website).
