[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just going to be a grumpy old lady for a minute here, but I'd like to point out that "back in my day" ( before student loans were widely available), if you couldn't afford to pay for it, you didn't go. I graduated with a ton of smart people who went to SUNY schools, because even though they were accepted at Ivy's and such, if the money wasn't there, it wasn't there. I guess the loan availability has changed the expectations, but I find that unfortunate. [/quote] How old are you? I am 53 and had student loans in college. I put myself through an Ivy grad school with loans and scholarships. Of course my undergrad tuition, room and board was under $10k for a top SLAC. Frankly the fact that an elite college education is more widely available, and not just to the wealthy, seems like a good development. Are you really suggesting that reserving the "ivy's and such" for the wealthy is the right approach for today? [/quote]
