[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop trolling. So earning less than 250k a year and not being able to pay 60k in this housing market means you have problems?[/quote]

If you are asking for charity, i.e. financial aid, then yes.[/quote]

So you think that people who receive financial aid and scholarships in college are asking for charity? If you do, you are obtuse and insolent. These schools cost more in tuition than many colleges. [/quote]
It's weird to me that full-pay parents think that they are paying for "charity."  No, you're not. You're paying the price set by the school for tuition. The school then budgets the whole pool of money as it sees fit.  The school has determined that offering some amount of FA is in its best interest, for whatever reason: attracting more applicants and smarter kids, or fulfilling its founder's mission, or good PR, or whatever.  But it's the school's money to spend, not yours.  And schools generally don't give FA out of the goodness of their hearts; they do it because it serves the school in some way.

It's just like paying for a car, and then the dealership decides to sponsor the local Little League team or endow a scholarship or whatever. [/quote]

I'm full pay for two kids. It's painful. However, I in no way shape or form agree with the charity concept nor do I see FA students as detracting from my kids' experiences. I find that most people are decent and reasonable.  Most posters, well, that's another type.  [/quote]
