Jane in NC Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I would not bank on my child being accepted at Cooper Union or Brown. Further, I find some of the state plans of subsidized tuition to be disingenuous. At many colleges, fees are almost as high as tuition and far from free! UNC-CH, according to the article, charges around $6700 annually for tuition. That is just one piece of the puzzle. According to the federal reporting site, IPEDS, the typical cost of a year at the school for an instate student is more like $17K. All I can say is start saving those pennies!

MBM Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 My husband went to Cooper Union and absolutely loved it. He still waxes on nostalgically about his favorite math and engineering professors, a serious student body, classes at McSorley's Pub, running electricity backwards (a big no-no as his class found out when the utility company paid their class a visit!) and chats with the dean just to talk about school policies. I think he secretly would like our youngest to go there. The campus is very small, about three buildings or possibly four if you count McSorley's. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-FL Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 There's also the tuition free colleges like College of the Ozarks or Berea. Trick is you have to fit the financial criteria, just like getting a Pell or other grant. For those of us who, on paper, have $$--no luck.
