[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the difference in cost between Macalester or the other places and UT, and would it all be made up of loans?  Offhand I can’t see going 100k into debt for those schools over UT. [/quote]

Exact COA:
UT Austin- 13K a year (no coverage for room and board- can receive federal loans)
Macalester- 3K a year federal loan, 5K student contribution from work study + summer savings 
Davidson- No packaged loans, 2K work study
Bates- 2K a year federal loan, 4K work study + summer savings

:shock: Meanwhile, middle class kids go practically bankrupt to get through college. [/quote]
Middle class parents, if they want to have generous need based financial aid for their college bound children, could choose lower paying jobs or be one earner family.  If they have lot of assets that negate them from getting financial aid, then they can choose to donate some of their assets to charity.  There is always a solution, instead of crying against benefits offered to very poor first-gen students.  But then, if you are a Republican, especially of MAGA brand, you would rather cry over institutional help to poor and first-gen families, and thus you meet the minimum entry requirement for being a Republican and a MAGA red hatter.[/quote]
