I studied for a year in a US university before transferring back to a government run university back in India. My tuition for the latter was about $100/year.
The amount of bloat I saw in US universities was unreal. Software that no one used apart from a couple of features, services that served no one in particular, classes that no one wants, and so on.
Of course, the infrastructure was markedly better. But I can't say that for quality. Most of my classes were taught by TAs, while my classes in my university back home were often taught by associate or even full professors, several of whom had PhDs from top US/UK universities.
And this was at a cheap public university. I can't imagine the kind of bloat a large private US school would have
