[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's like K-12 private schools, PP. A majority are quite wealthy, and a handful are low-income on financial aid. The middle class is entirely squeezed out.[/quote]

That might not be a great social fit for my kid anyway. [/quote]

+100 My DS wants to go to a SLAC but not one filled with only rich kids. They don't seem to exist as all the SLACs are so expensive.[/quote]

It's a smear to say SLACs have only rich kids.  40-65% of students at these schools are on financial aid with average award in the 50k range.  There are a lot of rich kids outside that group but someone has to pay the bills.[/quote]

76% of Middlebury students have parents families in the top 20% of hhi. [/quote]

What about parents who don’t have to work? Might even be higher. And at 80k a year, I think you can easily be in the top 20% of hhi and still get aid.[/quote]

Middlbury may skew a little rich but it's not so different from almost all the private colleges addressed in that NYT article.  Btw, top quintile of HHI isn't really that high-- you need to realize we are comparing families with parents in prime working age vs young single people, young couples, the elderly, etc, who all constitute households.[/quote]
