Stanford Eliminates Tuition for Low Income Families

<p>"Wow, random. When I applied, I got $2,000 less from Stanford than Harvard.</p>

<p>What I wonder is why they didn’t just decide to increase financial aid for people below $80,000 or some number, so that the middle class doesn’t still have to take out tons of loans. Instead of making it free for those under $45,000 and no change for those over, why not award those under $45,000 slightly less than 100% - even 90% - so that the middle class can get some more aid. Hmm."</p>

<p>Uhh… what? Poor people can’t afford it, the middle class can, but they just don’t want to pay, usually. And the people who need it the most are the low-income people, not the middle class. This statement is hilarious…</p>
