[quote=Anonymous]I don't get all these allegations of people who don't need FA getting it.  We just missed the cut off (school told us at application time we'd probably get something, and then after the calculations came back saying we didn't need any...we didn't get any.)  So we pay full freight, and we tighten our belts.  There are certainly no Disney vacations or cruises or million dollar houses in our life.  How, then (aside from the weird, probably very rare situation of a couple divorcing and then one party refusing to pay tuition) do you think a family with financial aid can live it up?  I can't live it up, and the $15 in aid that family is getting wouldn't allow me to live it up.

In addition, the cost of educating a kid is higher than anyone pays in tuition.  So, if you pay full tuition and resent that your money is going to pay for some ungrateful upper middle class professor's kid...you can lay that burden down.  It's not.  That person writing the four figure check is picking up the tab, voluntarily.[/quote]
