<p>The one thing on CC that always shocks me- and I’ve seen it many times- is the absurdly careless attitude some posters have towards the cost of a college education. Come April, there will be posters who got full rides at Oberlin/Wake Forest/Rice/WUStL/etc. and also got into Harvard/Yale/Stanford/etc. Inevitably there will be many posters clamoring on their threads that the prestige will far, far outweigh the drawback of debt (probably $20-25k for the average person). :eek:</p>
