[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marie Antoinette! Is that you telling the kids who can't afford Brown to take out massive loans, or their parents should mortgage their retirements with PLUS loans, or maybe the kid should just take the easy route and get full FA at Harvard? The $15,000 your friend took out in loans ten years comes out to $4,500 per year, barely a drop in today's $60,000 per year tuition. Yeesh. You people. [/quote] PS. Meant to add that this discussion is bizarre because it assumes that Ivies are the only place a kid can get a great education. Plenty of families understand that you can get a fabulous education at schools that aren't Ivies, schools that will offer merit aid. Kids who won't qualify for FA don't have to mortgage their futures, with tons of loans, at these non-Ivy schools. I'm guessing lots of Whitman families understand that Ivy status isn't worth $$$$ in student and parent loans.[/quote]
