Can you only post here for celebration after May Day? Can I issue a MayDay? if not, please send me to the appropriate bar.

No merit aid. Need based aid was a joke. FA - a long long way to run, as in a run-around.

Surly adcons' non answer replies to honest good faith questions (none showing a bit of the bite that is in this vent) AFTER we committed to pay them over a $100,000 is in-credible.

In the delusional EFC, F is for fiction, based on early 1990's tables, but the money we will be bleeding for four years will be real. Colleges increased tuition during the 90's and the aughts at a double digit clip, while my salary hardly went up during that time.

to me it smells like price gouging, frankly. they know that us conscientious caring parents, who have even videotaped their kids' births, will pay the egregiously strange and surreal sums so that their kids will have at least a shot at the shrinking global competitive economy. But at the same time, the kids, and us, the parents who have to meet the fictitious EFC (I am speaking of my wife and i in this celebratory thread), will be left in the end with the most avg debt in the history of the world.

This fear of competing in the world and the care we place on our kids support the price gouging and prevents us to 'vote with our feet' and to use market forces to change.

Please write to your representative to try to get some relief for the middle class so that higher education can be more sane for more people. We are zimbawe in the making, the fall of the american empire.

Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you like May 1st?
