<p>bk4972b, next time please put some effort into your response. Just kidding. You make a excellent case for AU. You almost make me feel better about all the money we are about to spend to send my D there next year. We are full pay but believe me it is far from easy for us to afford. I try to remember that it is a investment and the value proposition it represents when compared to the lesser expensive alternatives, is significant. That said, I would not suggest taking on any significant debt to attend. The burden of loans simply is not worth it.</p>
