When its endowment investments total is $35 billion!!!!

Harvard University got some nice press this week by announcing it will reduce tuition for middle-class families. It already allows students whose parents earn less than $60,000 a year to attend Harvard free.

Don't know about Harvard, but Princeton doesn't ... all students go tuition free to Princeton for that very reason.

I pay $20 a unit, and I'm damn proud of it.

Harvard can suck my balls after it sucks yours. People who get into IVY Unis are there cause their rich parents. Only a small percentage actually deserve to be there.

I was accepted to two Ivy League schools. I guess I am the product of rich parents.

Is there certain criteria one must meet to get in free? Cause I'm sure they don't want any random idiots coming in through a free ride.

Two reliable friends who just graduated from there told me that there is a tuition, but that everyone accepted gets a scholarship to cover the tuition. They came out with no student loans. I was surprised, but basically they said that the school is able to do this because the school has such a large portfolio.

Ivy league schools are what put the United States in conflicts like vietnam and iraq. I hope some of you know what I mean.

Foreign Policy by the numbers. War by equations. People so out of touch with the real world.
