<p>Hmm… you may be right.</p>
<p>Earlier in this thread (I think), someone mentioned that we weren’t getting financial support despite UChicago having a large endowment. I did some research, though, and that’s quite untrue… UChicago has about $4.9 billion in endowment. Most other top 10 schools (besides Caltech, of course) have endowments from $10 - $30 billion. Moreover, UChicago has about 200 students more than those universities (and thus, more professors), so I can see how supporting every single student would be difficult.</p>
<p>Perhaps Chicago is justified in charging us so much money?</p>
<p>Plus from what I’ve been hearing, graduates of UChicago can pay back the money in no time due to the school’s reputation as top-notch.</p>
