[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not clear what OP wants. For it to be free for everyone? For it to be like private k-12 where there are no truly poor students?[/quote] For it to be free up to her personal income level. But no higher. [/quote] OP: Really I was just making a point. We wouldn't qualify for aid under any scenario, assets way too high. The core issue is that the retail price tag has just gotten soooooo high. Much higher than it was on a relative basis a generation ago. The practical effect of this is that the only students who can really attend are the ones who qualify for a ton of aid (because they come from very modest backgrounds) or students who come from very affluent backgrounds where full price is not an issue. Sure, there are some UMC donut hole families who choose to take out tons of loans to make it happen, but many probably choose a cheaper option. [/quote]
