[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet the discrepancies are worse for FGLI kids at big state schools, where you’re on your own to handle everything and where everything is “pay to play” I.e. you can buy better meal plans, better housing (both more luxurious & closer to campus), have to pay to go to sporting events, greek life etc. JMU certainly isn’t giving kids grants to afford greek life in the way that Princeton gives kids grants to afford eating clubs. At Harvard, EVERY first year is on an unlimited meal plan. There is no paying more or less to buy a different kind of meal plan. [/quote] This is a VERY good point. Especially true of big SEC state schools where Greek life is huge on campus and which have kids from extremely poor families (as in, Alabama or Mississippi poor) and extremely rich families.[/quote]
