ugh, i hope my school doesn’t have budget issues. It does have a AA- bond rating so that’s good.
Clearly, the cost issue is hitting families - and SU is trying to get ahead of it to make sure they win.
It’s a clear sub for USC and Northwestern, but to get those kids, as it’s the “least competitive or selective or ranked” of the three, they got to get ahead of it. They’re also competing against schools like GW, AU, BU, Penn State, Pitt and more - so - it makes sense to get out in front.
Fortunately, it’s ability to raise funds is very strong.
