[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And this, my friends, is why tuition is circling $50k.[/quote]

It doesn’t add up. Why are many schools able to maintain a lovely physical plant, and have great factulty and all the programming, extracurriculars, etc while others are charging the SAME price for dilapidated facilities.

Hearing that Maret’s head makes $500k could be one reason why that school looks shabby. In 5 years the school could pay him half of what he makes and put a million into needed facility upgrades. I don’t want to pay that kind of tuition for that![/quote]

First, Maret's head is a woman.  Second, its facilities are not shabby.  They're not super fancy, but not shabby by any means.  It renovated its athletic facilities just last year.  [/quote]

My understanding is that school isn't interested in families looking for super fancy.  They've worked hard to keep tuition down (lower than just about any other school mentioned in this thread) and would prefer to appeal to diversity of socio-economics than gloss and flash families.[/quote]
