Well, personally, I felt my (non-Ivy League) education was technically pretty much a waste of time and money. I could have learnt more of practical use on the actual subject by reading a book.

The social side of things on the other hand were super good, certainly an experience worth being in debt for most of the rest of your life. You should go for some "further education" if only to avoid having to settle down and get a job for a while :-)
