[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In other words, nobody pays anything. It will probably be Princeton. Also, they'll get rid of legacy at same time.

I get that they take in a lot of money in tuition, but they already have half the kids going for nothing. And they don't need the money. And they'll be able to get rid of a pretty large and expensive administrative department.

I think it will start as tuition only and within another few years, 5 or so other colleges will follow. [/quote]

No we will never see this at an Ivy.  If there was a lower tiered school with money for some reason then maybe (like a third tier state school).  But among the issues at Princeton would be that it is mostly well off students and going free would be met with outrage.  Also -- Princeton will be one of the last schools to drop legacy even if everyone else does.  They are all about legacy.  At one point it was 40% of the class -- it is lower now but no --- not happen.

They also do not have the money to do this -- no school does.  that endowment is to be used of 100-300 years.  [/quote]

There are lower tier schools that do this--tuition free for all. Berea comes to mind.[/quote]
