To 风韵徐娘 - Tuition

My son goes to an IVY school because he decided to apply to a special program.  The kids can probably make more money TDF than going to IVY school.  It is an expense, not a necessity.

I used to think that I would ask my children to work or get loans when they go to college. 

In reality, the workload is pretty heavy at top schools and the interest of the loan he can get is higher than what I can get.  He has a roomate who get cloth-washing service, and sometimes he needs to go to expensive social occasions as well.

I am paying $60K/year, expecting $250K for four years. I pay the tuition/room/board and he pays for his social outings.  Tuition is interest-free loan from me.

I have more than one child, so the burden of tuition is heavy duty on me. I almost bought a large house last year, but decided not to do it.

• 美西不要这么激动嘛。阳光的想法是好的。很明显亚裔的孩子在美国名校里是不受欢迎的。 -sweetptt- ♂ (105 bytes) () 02/19/2013 postreply 10:47:48

• 那是因为Stanford不想培养亚裔。学校老师都希望学生将来大有作为。 -sweetptt- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/19/2013 postreply 11:01:06
