Slight correction -- I read that it's 43 percent of white students at Harvard are ALDC (athletes, legacies, or donor/dean choice etc). We also have URMs Way Less than half went in normally |

These are not unique to these schools. Master's in social work pouring in $$? These people made poor choices. You can only blame yourself. |

If you take simple vacations, skip Starbucks, and don't renovate your kitchen, you can save to pay for four years at a school like this for multiple kids. There is no such thing as the donut hole.
Just ask DCUM, they'll tell you. |

They shouldn’t have been allowed to take out loans for that much. You do know that the those govt loans will never be paid back in full? |

These schools prey on working class families who’ve had no previous exposure to college. The whole “big city college” thing. |

These are Master's degree, so they must have college education, and they made those decisions. |

Also, don't major in useless stuff, but people are saying college is not to get a job blah blah blah You can only blame yourself. |

Or as a society, or at least Columbia for one, can decide we need social workers. And they can decide that a degree in social work should cost less. So how about the school reduce tuition? |

I totally agree. The loan amount should match the value of the degree. When you take out a loan, they check your credit, your income, etc. They just blindly approve school loans that have very low value, and cry about loan cancellation with my tax money. |

Cute how you equate a cup of coffee to a kitchen renovation. No one is saving multiples of their annual income (at 200k, even if you mean 2 by multiple, that's over three years of income) for college without ignoring retirement |

A masters in social work at Columbia or NYU is for a trust fund kid who wants to work a little. It is not for someone who actually needs a career to pay the bills (including student loans). A generation or two ago, that was clear to everyone but a bye product of these schools pushing for diversity and first gen college access is the marketing influencing people who would have known better years ago. |
