<p>(to offset a projected 5% budget deficit)</p>
<p>No news since they ask us to expect a 5% increase every year.....</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh and this 5% they're gonna use to cover students' mental health treatment:
</p>
<p>I shudder to think what I'll eventually be paying for my kids to go to college.</p>
<p>at least they'll be Princeton legacies.</p>
<p>Relative increases in tuition cost will be covered by financial aid?</p>
<p>This should come as no surprise to you Schwaby. They provided a breakdown of our total expenses in our acceptance package. It came up to $40,026, not including "books and personal expenses". It was $43,200 with "books and personal expenses"</p>

<p>Oh I know. Just thought it was psuedo-newsworthy as it was the main article for the newly launched Daily Princetonian.</p>
<p>It's covered by fin aid anyway, so it doesn't really impact me.</p>
<p>"EDIT: Oh and this 5% they're gonna use for mental cases:"</p>
<p>I take 'psychotropic drugs' for my anxiety - does that make me a mental case? Hardly. I hate to be the one calling PC! PC! but you see that word 'stigma' there? It's because of phrases like that.</p>
<p>The people who are on financial aid won't be affected, and wealthy parents aren't exactly going to care about a 5% tuition increase. It's a drop in the bucket for them. So it ends up that tuition increases hurt those who can afford to pay in full, but only just.</p>

Sorry, didn't think of it that way. I'll report that as offensive.... btw my dad takes psychotropic drugs too. I posted without thinking twice... :o</p>
<p>Yes, Princeton is expensive. Yes, we'll have to pay them lots of our money. But yes, I think we'll be happy about it in the end (hopefully, especially considering comparative cases...).</p>
<p>exactly. I was wondering if Pton dishes out so much fin. aid as they do now, how will they get yearly revenue?</p>
<p>Ok I forgive you, let's all be friends ;) (I really wasn't that offended, but I just like to make people aware of stuff like that)</p>
<p>Still cheaper than HYMS though.</p>
<p>I have to take an Economics course by correspondence so that I graduate high school (psh, overrated), and it was written in the 80's, and they made a BIG HUGE DEAL about the fact that MIT cost 15,000, and that was SO EXPENSIVE.</p>
<p>Also, we haven't yet found a way to recycle plastics.</p>
<p>Princeton is way cheap if you're poor like me. hahahahahahah! all u rich suckers.</p>
