I'm not sure how to take this article considering that I am trying to switch into tech with a Biology undergrad with some CS coursework.

I'm already been admitted to OMSCS but I've been thinking of applying to on-campus masters programs at Cornell, USC, and Stanford but the >$50k price tag is making me resist.

Are these on-campus programs at prestigious universities worth it to get access to high-growth startups and big tech companies as well as more face-to-face time with instructors and other classmates as opposed to a part-time online masters?
