<p>They finally passed that magical $50,000 barrier. Congratulations!</p>
<p>hah, kill me now</p>
<p>Ay carumba.</p>
<p>Yeah, geez, this sucks.</p>
<p>hopefully they can counter give students more aid with their newly acquired endowment</p>
<p>But why don't they just keep it lower so that more people can afford it- then they wouldn't have to give as much financial aid. I don't really like how my tuition goes up so that I can pay for other people to go to school. I know that's a *****y spoiled thing to say, but it bothers me.</p>
<p>Well the fundamental reason tuition keeps rising is that the cost of actually educating one student for one year at Georgetown, excluding room and board, is over $50k. So the $35k you pay, although exorbidant, comes no where near covering the cost of the education that the University is fronting.</p>
<p>i didnt apply for financial aid. is gtown need blind or what?</p>
<p>it is need blind</p>
