Just ask DCUM, they'll tell you.
Hardworking taxpaying middle class should be able to take some vacations, renovate old kitchen and at the same time should be able to send kids to whatever schools they are well qualified without losing arms and legs.
NYU and USC are rich kid schools. They give very little financial aid to anyone.
Honestly, so what? Why does this trigger people? It's not the end of the world if you can't afford two out of the thousands of four-year universities in the U.S. It's frankly a bit whiny and entitled (and delusional) to think your teen should be able to waltz in anywhere if you don't have the bucks to pay. I mean, can they just waltz into Sidwell too? Obviously not.
Because Americans, and American Universities like to pretend that college attendance is about merit and that getting into a great college is a reward for a kid who busts their ass in high school. NYU and USC are the last who want to admit that it's really about the ability to pay
You can bust your butt and get in, sure, but who says it's supposed to be free or cheap? Your kid can also bust their butt k-8th and get into Sidwell or Exeter, but unless you can pay, they can't go. How is this news to anyone or some horrific indictment of higher ed? You're all being super dramatic for no reason. Who freakin' cares.
There has always been a strong dividing line between high school and college affordability. If a school really wants to go down the pay for play path, it will eventually be viewed as a fancier Devry and no school wants that

I have done all that and more (drive 15 yr old cars, cheap clothes, no restaurants, small house, …) so we can save for retirement and now we are expected to blow our life savings if kids want to attend the selective colleges.

Their average cost is similar to many T50 private schools.
They give little financial aid compared to peer schools.
Do you have a source?
My relatively low income nephew EDed to NYU, and got really great financial aid package.
I was surprised because of this kind of rumors.

USC just announced they are ending their vaccine mandate for Fall 2023

(But not for summer? No sense.)

Hard working middle class parents should be able to:
- Be satisfied with an old kitchen
- Be satisfied with not taking expensive vacations
- Afford most colleges.
Do these private universities receive federal monies?? If so, why??

These are supposed to be educational institutions, not Ferrari dealerships. The degrees won’t be worth much if they’re doled out based on ability to pay for them rather than merit.

Why? Why should every single school be affordable to any family?
