[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's a good idea. I went to Yale, not Harvard, but Yale could afford free tuition also. I grew up middle class (both parents teachers) and got generous financial aid from Yale so I graduated with no debt. The amount my parents were expected to pay was reasonable to their circumstances and Yale was much cheaper than the other, less prestigious schools I got into because the financial aid packages weren't as large. If my kids get into Yale, I wouldn't want it to be free. I can easily afford the tuition and don't want Yale to spend its money subsidizing my family. Also, one of the big advantages of going to a place like Yale is the chance to mix with people who are well-connected. A school where everyone is a smart kid from some random suburban high school (like I was) isn't nearly the same experience of a school with a mix of kids who are rich, poor, international, etc. [/quote]
