Swallows to Capistrano ( Financial Aid Myths and Realities )

<p>I would love to know how some of these old posters faired… And it’s funny to read the initial posts about the “no loan” schools in 2008 who now, surprise, add in loans. </p>

<p>I actually felt bad for a friend of mine when everyone was bragging his daughter got a “full ride” at princeton. Yes, the girl is very smart. But her Dad used to be a huge real estate developer and sold his summer cottage under the guise that they were thinking of spending their summers in France. So when I hear full ride at Princeton, I know he’s fallen on incredibly rough times. Not that I am telling people that, but they had to hear that version from somewhere.</p>
