[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do wonder what the atmosphere is like at these expensive private schools.  With really no middle class kids there at all.  Doesn’t sound like a nice environment.[/quote]

+1. Something to think about[/quote]

What are you guys talking about? Middle class people are there and going for free. [/quote]

No, if they are there, it is because the parents took out Plus loans.  You have to be pretty poor to get aid that isn’t a loan.[/quote]

No, it really depends on the school. Top tier, there are middle class (under 120k annual) going on free tuition.  I get that this is not the case at mid/lower tier or OOS, but many of those offer merit.  Not sure I would refer to 200k+ people as middle class.[/quote]

I agree this is true at Harvard, Princeton and Yale.  There are many, many other “top tier” schools that provide no aid to the middle class.  Fordham, GW, and many others come to mind. [/quote]
