The full-freight COA at Williams is about $87,000. But Williams spends about $137,000 per student. So even the Richie Rich kids are getting $50,000 of their education subsidized.

So are they capitalist pigs for charging what the market will bear? Or are they pinko-communists by subsidizing the costs of everyone and often using the money from full-pay kids to reduce costs of the poor and middle-class kids?

It's not communist; they aren't because they aren't a government.

They can easily lower the coa to a more manageable amount, and then not have to provide so much financial aid to a lot of the students.

But, they like to keep the price tag high because.. IDK.. greed?  Prestige?

Either way, it's truly disgusting how an institution of higher learning can be so greedy.

Also, those greedy institutions get tax breaks.[/quote]
