I agree @my2caligirls . there does seem to be a huge supply of kids willing to pay these crazy prices. Just look at the huge jump in applications at many schools. What an eye opener for me to learn how much colleges actually cost after deducting aid. the net prices are astronomical. I was shocked to see how much schools actually expect you to pay on a yearly basis. how they arrive at one being able to spend 50% of gross income on yearly basis was very surprising. I think it is just because there is so much money out there. The economy is booming and people are flush with cash.
