[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you take simple vacations, skip Starbucks, and don't renovate your kitchen, you can save to pay for four years at a school like this for multiple kids.  There is no such thing as the donut hole.

Just ask DCUM, they'll tell you.[/quote]

Hardworking taxpaying middle class should be able to take some vacations, renovate old kitchen and at the same time should be able to send kids to whatever schools they are well qualified without losing arms and legs.  [/quote]

NYU and USC are rich kid schools. They give very little financial aid to anyone. [/quote]

Honestly, so what? Why does this trigger people? It's not the end of the world if you can't afford two out of the thousands of four-year universities in the U.S. It's frankly a bit whiny and entitled (and delusional) to think your teen should be able to waltz in anywhere if you don't have the bucks to pay. I mean, can they just waltz into Sidwell too? Obviously not.[/quote]

[b]Because Americans, and American Universities like to pretend that college attendance is about merit and that getting into a great college is a reward for a kid who busts their ass in high school. [/b]NYU and USC are the last who want to admit that it's really about the ability to pay [/quote]

You can bust your butt and get in, sure, but who says it's supposed to be free or cheap? Your kid can also bust their butt k-8th and get into Sidwell or Exeter, but unless you can pay, they can't go. How is this news to anyone or some horrific indictment of higher ed? You're all being super dramatic for no reason. Who freakin' cares.[/quote]

Better job opportunities out of top schools.[/quote]
Sometimes. Sometimes not. There is more than one way to skin a cat. Your children's careers are not doomed by attending a less expensive college.[/quote]
