Well, Edward Fiske has selected his group of so-called “Budget Ivies.” As the his press release explains, “For families whose income has remained stagnant during the recession or dropped dramatically due to unemployment, tuition costs are likely to be near the top of list when considering which college their child will attend. Tuition and fees rose on average about 6 percent at U.S. colleges and universities (both public and private) between the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 school year, according to the College Board. Public four-year colleges charge, on average, $7,000 per year in tuition and fees for in-state students and $11,500 for out-of-state. Private four-year colleges charge, on average, $26,000 per year in tuition and fees.” Not a pretty picture.

<p>FSU is a good value. The out of state tuition at FSU is under $18K. It makes more sense to see FSU on this list than it does to see UT Austin on this list - the out of state tuition and fees at UT are over $30K.</p>

<p>I’m pleased as well. Fiske is a legitimate critic of things academic.</p>
