[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The donut holes will get squeezed more. Tuition will never drop.  It might stabilize for a bit. The top schools are already offering free tuition for families less than $150k or $200k (depending on school).

A few have touted offering it free to everyone in the future--Hopkins, Princeton.  Imagine coming out with 100ks of $ in loans when the kids 3 years after you go for free. What a bite in the *ss that would be.[/quote]

That happened to me. My parents were low earners but not so low that I qualified for grants. Several years after graduation, my alma mater announced free tuition for families earning an income well over what my parents earned. I’m grateful for the opportunities I had but the sacrifices my parents had to make for their contribution and that I had to make for my loans were quite significant compared to the advantages fellow alumni a few years younger received. Hopefully they don’t pull the legacy rug out from under me before it can give my children a tiny boost![/quote]
Hopefully they rush to take away legacy. It’s time to stop the nonsense and have a fair admissions system. Sucks that you didn’t enter in a time when things were fairer but we need to stop this foolishness.[/quote]
