“Tuition income directly impacts our resources for financial aid and our academic programs,” Brown said in a letter to parents. Ok, lets think about this. The more we raise tuition, the more financial aid we hand out. Let's reduce the tuition and then we would decrease the amount of aid we distribute. MAKES SENSE. After financing one kid at Brown and the other at Virginia Tech, I would send my 3rd to Tech without a second thought. Just look at all the in-state kids going to UVA or UNC for under $10,000. What world are we living in when some are paying $50,000 for the same education others are paying $10,000.
