<p>“Guessing” does not make statistics. And people frequently throw around the term “full ride” when that is not the correct term. The poster in post #66 said the girl got a FREE SCHOLARSHIP (room and board). That is NOT a free ride, dadII and is not all that uncommon. In my state, any student who can maintain a 3.0 GPA gets a FREE TUITION scholarship. That is not all that rare.</p>
