PA SSHE schools: some struggle, some grow

[AOIILisa]

I went to Temple for grad school (MBA) back in the late eighties - with employers picking up part of the tab, I think I maybe paid $10k out of my own pocket. This is before MBA programs got streamlined - I took about 20 courses over 4.5 years. Now, the Fox School of Business at Temple is almost $40k/year according to a co-worker who was looking around at B-schools. Temple undergrad isn't cheap either, my husband's two kids went there and it was $24k a year - I think both of them got some minimal aid from Temple, but not much. I don't even know how people can afford to send kids to college if that is the cheap state - related school.
