@eyemgh

my point about RWU wasn’t their relationship to the premise in the OP’s article, but that you’d use it as an example to refute “they’re all the same price.” Of course it isn’t, but it’s not remotely in the same class as the top two to three hundred schools in the nation.

<p>Actually it’s in the Top 100 LACs! Kiplingler’s Top 100 Best Value LACs, that is.</p>

<p>I don’t really understand the point of your argument against all reason - there are price variations among private schools and they do not all cost the same. You can turn it into “expensive schools are all expensive” or some other tautology if it makes you feel better.</p>

<p>If I look at the top 100 LACs according to US News, I see tuition variation (ignoring publics) from $46K to $22K and every number in between. Is that your idea of “all the same”?</p>
