If MIT and Caltech are so expensive, how do the kids who graduate from those institutions and then go on to PhD programs afford the cost of undergrad? It seems truly impossible to me unless you are rich.
Secondly, I’ve been going on the assumption that grad school will be close to free. But then I checked the Caltech website and grad school costs 72,000 sticker price. WTF? What the hell is wrong with america…all these schools think they can bankrupt kids and impose on them an enormous debt at such a young age. Honestly if I wasn’t uncomfortable about the risk, I would go to France in a second.
