<p>I find this NY Times article depressing. I attended college when FA was not as enlightened. Back then FA meant loans. I paid them off. It was our first mortgage. I did not attend BS because it was way beyond my means. I did envy those I met in college who had it so much easier due to their superior BS education. The income levels mentioned in the article distresses me most. I understand the costs one endures for BS and another kid in college or BS but does it seem fair that this is accounted for in FA decisions by the schools? When does it become appropriate to say well you blew all your money on Susie but does that mean Johnnie is entitled to a similar BS education?</p>
