Talking about the cost of schools, here in Dubai the cost for 1 year of school, even kindergarten, costs more than my 4 years of college combined. Seriously. It's about $25,000 per child per year. And I'm not THAT old. Of course, those kids can attend the college of their choice once they graduate. It's quite impressive the list of colleges these kids attend. And the good news is most people's employers pay it, so the parents just have to worry about college. Which brings us back to the above...
I WANTED to apply to George Washington but my parents wouldn't let me. They couldn't afford it, and not having gone to college themselves, they didn't know about the financial aid options we had. And at the time they were buhroke. I probably could have gone to a school like that for virtually free. I got a variety of pre-approvals to a bunch of schools. One was Northwestern. Woo hoo! Pre-approved to Northwestern! Oh, Northwestern IOWA. Never heard of it, and no thank you.
