And the football team demographic still has Harvard games to go to.

My white kid goes to Michigan and his Asian-American friends are getting him interested in football. It's coming from them to him.

Also see where this Chinese-American alum helped pay the NIL for Michigan's star quarterback.

When you look at the world from an outdated perspective, you miss what is really going on and how life is changing.

Costs have gone up and so must need-based financial aid. People should be using Harvard's Net Price Calculator to see what it would cost them; this is nothing new. These types of articles are just advertising for the school.

Yes, but the rest (R&B and expenses) is likely about $20K. A kid can earn $10K take fed loans for $5.5K and left with $5K. Much better than figuring out $90K

Alumni giving rates have plummeted at Ivy schools especially at Princeton.

You won't be missed.

Actually, their tuition money in fact will be missed.

11k for a home game against Dartmouth says it all.

Agree. We are only recently in the full pay category and I’ve been surprised at the percentage of no-pay. $400k per kid is still a hugely significant number for most people. As a first generation student, I support some assistance. The difference in pay just seems so vast relative to income considerations, especially in the barely-qualifying incomes.

Feel free to retire and enjoy free tuition.

Well you see...we can't, what with still needing to eat/health care/pay for home like everyone else, etc. I'd love to know why you think we could just quit jobs and be fine?

Kids from Holy Cross do very well in careers-solid alumni network.

good thing federal funds were never going to funding poor immigrants!

don't complain when research and progress in things like beating childhood cancer dries up

??? You are free to spend your $400k any way you like.

spending mine at yale and, so far, getting our money's worth. we'd be paying the same at Holy Cross. I guess it sucks to be rich (and not mega rich), but .. not really.

Anonymous wrote:I just wish the rise in non pay was commensurate with kids going to class. The article about how Harvard students are overwhelmed and not going to class is a bummer. Double bummer if the endowment is paying for the mess.

how does this have anything to do with you?

better to complain about rich people avoiding taxes by setting up personal foundations or offshoring, etc.

even if you believe harvard is a private country club, which it kind of is, it's none of your business if they only make half the people pay
