This poster had a FAFSA EFC of $0 which certainly implies a lower income! He got NO need based institutional aid from BU. Even the Pell Grant Plus Direct Loan will only cover $11500 of the $72,000 coat of attendance.
Where do you suggest this student get the remaining $60,000 a year or so to attend BU? Even doing a coop program…this school is NOT affordable at all.
It’s nice to suggest that he go where he is most comfortable…but guess what…if he doesn’t pay the bills, he won’t be allowed to register for classes.
