<p>Well, we heard back from WPI. Sad news. Very moderate scholarship. Our S will be heartbroken. WPI is clearly his first and deeply desired choice, to the point he’s happily talking to people, teachers and coaches there. I believe a student can/should shoulder SOME debt, but should not go so deeply into debt that their early future is crippled.</p>
<p>It’s extremely difficult to imagine how on Earth we can afford their remaining costs without massive loan debt.</p>
<p>Why are good private colleges so unaffordable?</p>
