I'm sorry, I'm a complete asshole about this with absolutely no skin in the game (for at least ten more years), but it also drives me nuts. So please just. look at the graph

#I have adblockers and they seem to get past the paywall if there is one #the tl;dr is non-Ivy private colleges are a giant waste of money #obviously as someone who did attend an Ivy and now works for a flagship public university this man is saying exactly what I want to hear #please support your state's educational apparatus at all levels #and tell all the brilliant kids you know that the Ivies don't cost what they say they cost (apparently all are allegedly need-based now?)#but these schools that for real charge more than the (fake if necessary) sticker price of an Ivy and aren't an Ivy like WHY. WHO. HOW. STOP #(conservatories + their ilk I SUPPOSE excepted... idk their scholarship practices though. I hope they have them)#go go little-me I suppose. whose backup plans were 'fuck off out of the country' (Edinburgh) and 'idk the air force maybe'#I do love the liberal arts but man I was Not Compelled by colleges (in the not-a-university sense. university great. college very weird)
