[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IDK but we make close to 300k and aren’t sending our kids to private schools because we think the tuition is ridiculous![/quote]

Same. Some friends of ours just announced on Facebook that their daughter go into Duke, where I’m pretty sure they’ll be full pay and my initial thought was “Suckers”. Ours is going to a small public for less than a third of the price and has a better chance to do research and eventually end up in med school.[/quote]

Yeah they're real losers  :roll: [/quote]

Any parent that “announces” where their child is going to college on Facebook is pretty much the definition of loser. However, choosing Duke over a small public school for their daughter hardly makes them suckers. Worth every penny.[/quote]

And any person that calls someone “the definition of a loser” in an anonymous forum is pretty much the definition of a bitter jerk.  Particularly when it comes to something as insignificant as social media behavior.  Get a life.

As for the topic of the thread, thinking it will burst/is bursting is definitely different than thinking it will burst uniformly across the board.  The elite schools - meanings he top 200 or so, not just the ivies — will not be affected as demand will remain high.

The main reason for the increase in top tuition prices is the switch to generous need-based aid.  You don’t have to like it but I am full pay x2 and I am fine with it.  It is what it is and there are lower cost options.[/quote]
