<p>Didn't see anyone post this yet and someone is always asking about these kinds of things!

<p>Can someone please explain the implications of a stated tuition cost if no students pay tuition? Thank you.</p>
<p>One reason is taxes, any grant or scholarship money over the cost of tuition and fees is taxable.</p>
<p>Another reason is that while the college may provide a full tuition scholarship for “everyone”, the definition of “everyone” may have exclusions.</p>
<p>You get what you pay for- with the exception of qualifying for the Honors college in NY or the military academies none are worth it for most students. None sound like good schools- and require work, 10 or more hours per week. A drop in the ocean for numbers of places available as well.</p>
<p>I can’t speak to the others, but Berea is a legitimately important institution for the region and population it serves and started promoting racial equality and socioeconomic advancement about 100 years before most other colleges got around to it.</p>
<p>I have met some impressive graduates from Berea. It was definitely worth it to them, since Pell and loans could cover the remaining costs. Both that I knew were first-generation college students and would not have been able to attend college otherwise. </p>
<p>Curtis School of Music has a 3.2% acceptance rate, so I would say it is worth it to those that are able to get in.</p>
<p>I’m from KY, which has two schools on that list, and I can tell you that those colleges aren’t typically considered good, though few in-state are. I hear about Berea a little bit but not too much.</p>
<p>I guess Berea has a good rep. but if you want to get the best education possible I still think there are better schools in the state. I know some of my parents colleagues/ technicians went there before going to pharmacy school.</p>
