[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps more money for FA was available when your child enrolled six years ago.
Net price calculator results sure were off for us.  We couldn't swing the annual costs with our youngest headed to college two years from now.  [/quote]

Could very well be the case. University tuition costs in America are insane, I agree. Wishing all the best for your youngest.[/quote]

I just did the NPC for Boston University. They wouldn't give us aid, and the COA is $79K per year!! For Boston University!! That was a safety in my day.

College costs are completely ridiculous. Someone needs to lead the way and cut the price to a realistic level, say $40 or $50K per year, at most. College costs have far outrun inflation in recent years. All those college loans and their huge marketing apparatus made it possible, loading down families and kids with college debt.

Northwestern needs to spend the $480 million to cut it's tuition. That would be a good thing to do with that money. [/quote]
