[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can swing the cost, yes, definitely.

I am paying full price for an Ivy and feel great about it. I pay half tuition for another child’s lower ranked school and though it’s a “good” school I feel that the value isn’t there, even at a discounted cost. There is a huge dropoff in resources.[/quote]

To add on - EVERY college is pinching pennies right now and making cuts. At a rich school there’s still so much leftover. At a less-rich school the food is noticeably worse than it was two years ago, dining hall hours are shorter, classes are harder to get, cool programs have been cut or “paused,” hiring is on hold and departments are short-staffed. The students feel the cuts and the overall experience is not what it was even a year or two ago. [/quote]

What you described sounds like most liberal arts colleges, not the big state universities.[/quote]

State universities are the most strapped since hurt by the federal research cuts to R1s, but under tremendous pressure to keep tuition affordable while also dealing with state budget cuts.  The schools that promise free tuition to thousands of instate kids have it even worse.[/quote]
