I don’t understand it either but my D has told me stories about so many kids she went to HS with who “had” to go to an unaffordable school. Now, after just a year, they’re tired of stressing about money and working as many hours as possible, scrimping to get by, and realizing their school just isn’t all that different than the more affordable ones. They may have “saved face” last summer, but they sure feel like dopes now…several have to transfer to the local CC because they have blown their budget so badly on freshman year dream schools (yes, one is NYU). It’s a tough lesson to learn for an 18 year old kid (but one their parents should have schooled them in, imo).
