[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's assume your combined income is $300K and you don't qualify for much aid, if any. Why would you send your child to a preppy, white SLAC near the Canadian border? 23% of students come from families in the top 1%. Meanwhile, the median income for alumni at age 34 is a paltry $62K. How much value are you getting out of that $55K/year tuition? Obviously they are known for teaching and language programs, but does the tuition, isolation and limited career earnings potential justify the exorbitant cost? [/quote] Made the laugh a little - thinking about then you also having to pay to help support your child as a struggling novelist for the rest of their lives, as half of the Middlebury grads I know are - but the other half are well educated mostly conventionally successful things like doctors or computer scientists...[/quote]
