[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between 1987 and 2017, the cost of attending a public four-year college rose more than 200%.

For the 2024-2025 school year, Tufts’ estimates of expenses for undergraduate programs reaches nearly $96,000, trumping Wellesley — which comes in at about $92,000.

For the year strting this fall, Yale University comes in at almost $91,000, preceding Boston University with around $90,000 for the academic year.

That is so effed up. [/quote]

This is how they are affording to give so many kids financial aid. I am not against aid don’t get me wrong - I had it in college but this is what is allowing them to do this. Parents paying full tuition are paying for financial aid. It must be why. There is no other explanation or increase except they are admitting more kids that need more aid. [/quote]

Except I am against it. It should not be on other families to provide the FA but that is how it works right now and absolutely has driven costs way up. [/quote]

On top of that, at least at my kid’s school, the FA kids are rude and aggressive to the full pay kids and treat them as if they should pay for everything (for example, voting to make laundry free and covered by a fee that only full pay kids pay). [/quote]

Holy shit---what school is this?  That is beyond ridiculous that students are even voting on that.  
At many "expensive Universities", laundry is "free" as it's included in your fees.  IMO it's much better as the machines break down less as there is not payment interface that can go to shit and prevent them from being used.
