[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like how Purdue does things: merit scholarships exist, but every kid largely pays the same tuition no matter how rich or poor their parents just so happen to be. Every kid should have some skin in the game.[/quote]

Purdue is a public school snd beautifully run by Mitch Daniels[/quote]

I don't hate the guy, but I live in West Lafayette and know any number of people who would disagree with the "beautifully run" contention. I'd say he's done more good than bad but Purdue has its share of problems, and Mitch probably resigned at the right time. His governing philosophy probably cut what bloat was possible. If he stayed on, it would probably be at the expense of the education Purdue is able to provide. [/quote]

My kid goes to Purdue and I am delighted by the value as compared other state schools we were looking at.  Mitch Daniels ran a tight ship, the value is unmistakable. It has the same challenges as most other large state schools- but overall I am impressed. My son didn't even have any of those giant freshman lecture type courses, everything was pretty reasonable in size. I will say they are struggling with housing. Too many kids were accepted and they ran out of room, it's a bit Hunger Games in that regard.  All that said, with inflation they will have to raise tuition at this point (frozen for 11 years!) but I am betting it will still be a bargain. Those tuition payments come up fast, it's incredible to think of the money we all spend for essentially 15 weeks of classes.  [/quote]
