<p>“the traditional old schools typically charge 2, 3, 5 times as much as some other schools”
Huh? Where on earth are you getting this info? Do some research before you make statements such as this. There are not huge discrepencies [ 2, 3 5 times] in tuition costs between top private colleges and 2nd tier private schools. The large price differences are only with the cost of to going to a public college in state and a private college.</p>
