[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Silly rabbit thinking you pay tuition dollars for scholarly teaching.

Everyone pays tuition to have a piece of paper on the wall, that's it.  90% of education at university is of no practical use in the real world anyway.  Who gives a hoot?  Pony up the cash and get that insanely overpriced piece of paper on the wall and move on with your life. [/quote]

I don't think I would have put it quite this way, but this is the point.  You're not paying for a semester of education, you're paying to hold your child's place in the class of 2024.  If you don't want to pay $80,000 to do that, that fine, but be aware that there are a lot of parents who have kids on the wait list who will be happy to do so.  And there are a lot of smart kids graduating in 2021 who will be applying, as well.  There may be some full-pay spots opening up that would have otherwise been filled by international students, particularly this fall, but I wouldn't count on that lasting much beyond this year.

This is a parent's forum, so the perspective will be skewed that way, but from what I'm hearing, the actual students who are senior this year are so far along in the process that this will probably not change their decisions that much.  It's the parents that are watching their investments erode and getting nervous about what they're getting for the $400,000 investment they're about to commit to. [/quote]
