[quote=Anonymous]I don't get how it is different from FA in college (meaning outright grants, not loans).  Very few colleges are absolutely free but there are many that are low cost.  Full resident freight at City College of New York and UDC for example is less than $7500 a year.

It's the same principle--those paying full freight are subsidizing those who are not, at least to some extent.  Of course many colleges have larger endowments than private schools and some aid comes from that, but still some students are subsidizing others.  It's just a question of degree.  That more people pay the full sticker price at private schools than at colleges is irrelevant to the principle.

I am wondering why people are protesting this point.  Is it because they are paying full freight for private but are hoping their DCs get financial aid for college and somehow this is different so they can freely attack OP?

Where is the outrage that a child of a SAHM gets financial aid for college but the child of two full-time working parents who also scrimped and saved does not?[/quote]
