  • I think there is a special level of cruelty involved with elite universities. They truly allow a student to pay nearly nothing if their parent aren’t well off (<70k annual income) but 1) the system isn’t built at all to support first generation college students 2) the system is built to accept students specifically from rich old money backgrounds.

    Almost all students from the backgrounds that would qualify for ‘free college’ end up going to colleges where graduation rate is much lower and financial aid isn’t present.

    It’s like patting yourself on the back and going wow 75% of our class comes from rich college prep academy’s who are often alumnus, what are the odds - they don’t even need aid!
