Have a nephew at Yale. Full academic scholarship. High percentage of Ivy League students get full or partial scholarships if they excelled in HS. I guess this makes tRumpers jealous.
Yale doesn't give merit (academic) based scholarships.
So if you can't afford it then don't go there. I don't know how it is in every state but I'll just tell you about mine. All students need to take general education classes in order to graduate. This has nothing to do with your major. This is basically your first year.
It's not "gen ed". It's "liberal art college reqs." Which are taught, at a 4 year "expensive college level" a little more in depth than at your basic community college & which is why you just can't go take a class at your community college and expect to get credit for it. Has to be approved by the 4 year, and the approval isn't handed out like Halloween Candy on 10/31.

So many kids start out at community colleges to get these requirements because it's much cheaper. Then they transfer to a state college. Housing is very expensive though. And some don't budget for that.
And many, who took those classes at their CC, end up being all sorts of confuddled b/c the 4 year college they apply to won't give them full or any credit for more than several of the classes they took at the CC.
They expect to enter a 4 year college as a JR., but end up as a second semester Frosh or first semester Soph.
Buyer beware. How many high paying jobs are waiting for a Liberal arts major?
If I were to spend that much on my child's education I would be shooting for something more marketable.

I read somewhere and I will try to check on it,that Princeton's endowment is so big very few pay tuition.
And a significant amount of student loan debt on graduation.
See Post #46 which says the averge student loan debt is $16,000 after attending 4 years at Sara Lawrence College.
