<p>I was really disappointed in the lack of any financial aid unless you consider an unsubsidized Stafford Loan “financial aid.” Not even work study! </p>
<p>I readily admit that I am upper middle class, but a $210000 tuition bill is really hard to swallow and ultimately, and to my great consternation, my daughter will end up borrowing to pay for most of that. This is what keeps me up at night.</p>
<p>Did we plan and save? Yes. Close to a full years tuition. But I also paid for 12 years of private school that cost a few dollars too. I could have sent her to public school but I dont think she would be attending SC and she wouldn’t be the confident young woman with a clear identity of what she is all about either. </p>
<p>I dont blame SC as much as I blame the federal government for making student loans so easy so that colleges have little incentive to keep the price of tuition in check.</p>
