      I’m afraid that this is one of the places where you go to get the really super special diploma that says that you are specialler. The average person there has a rich daddy writing checks for tuition. You go there for the pedigree, not the education (though one presumes that the education is at a high level).

      With luck, the next generation will get it just a little better.

          The economics of universities is such that tuition is only the tiniest part of all funding, typically less than 10%. The majority will come from grants, the state (if a public university), and donations. Students only contribute the tiniest amount of total costs.
