If you don't want to pay the exorbitant tuition, go to community college, or skip school altogether, and get a job. If on the other hand you feel guided by the holy spirit you can pay full boat, score some points with Yahweh, and help some less fortunate soul receive a first rate Catholic education of the mind and spirit.

Domer, kermit, way to go brothers, you stay with it! san diego irish, Im not either, but I thought I read that the sacrifice was supposed to be a personal decision, not that it was TAKEN from you.

You shall know me by the number of calls I still receive each week from students at ND begging for money. trey, I think I was the only one who swore off donating, and I’ve done just that.

On average, tuition only covers 20-40% of a student's education. But that also includes allocations for all kinds of things not directly related to that student (fixed/administrative costs, lawsuit defense at a place like USC, etc). BJ, if you apply for all games in a year, you're almost guaranteed at least 2 tix to a single game, and you'll more often than not get more than that. but you're also much more likely to get Navy than USC.

Perhaps I'm mistaken... Look on the bright side, trey: At least when ND uses a progressive tuition scale, you get the sense that the decision is grounded in a solid moral framework. The same can't be said for progressive taxes to our government, where fighting for votes beats out solid moral framework 99 times out of 100.

But you can see how from the University's standpoint it's a better option than freezing tuition costs. Maybe there are students for whom the cost would have been prohibitive, but not it just relegates them to a whole lot of debt but still being able to attend. I don't know. Interestingly, there was an article in Forbes last year about how when schools raise tuition their number of applications goes UP and the reason, according to Forbes, is that it's like buying brand name clothes, people want the prestige of an outrageously expensive education. George Washington University raised their tuition from 30K to 50K and their applications soared. Strange but true. Biscuit,

That teaching might be something ND wants to follow when it comes to making a Catholic higher education possible for those of limited means.
