| Supposedly, about 60% of Duke undergrads are paying full sticker price for their four years so I doubt you're alone. Of course, that could also mean that many of the kids simply do not qualify for finaid because their parents have a lot of money. However, I'm pretty sure college kids in general are poor.
For what it's worth, my parents said they will be able to pay tuition/room/board without loans, but all personal spending will have to come out of my own pocket, which I am perfectly fine with. |
