Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 3389276, member: 474"] One thing thats interesting.. almost the entire budget shortfall for these colleges is the financial aid they give out. If kids are gonna take gap years and colleges have kids they are turning away then why not cut some of the financial aid and see how many bail . you may end up saving millions if a chunk dont come and others fill the void. just look at SU if 5000 kids get 5000 less in financial aid and more in loans thats 25 million. It sucks to add on debt but kids also have a choice. if 10K get 2500 less its still 25 million.. It may also be a 1 yr blip in school finances and 2500 over 10 yrs $25 a month on the other end. Its better than cutting everything from the school, cutting staff and sports and etc.. [/QUOTE]
