New York

When I left high school a third of its students were from the Bronx and another half took the subway there from the other four boroughs. Now, only about 18% are from NYC. Now, between, tuition, fees, room and board, it's over a quarter million dollars over four years. That's not simply crazy expensive, it's criminally expensive. Still, its cost is second to NYU.

I'm glad your brother enjoyed it overall. We'll see if my daughter feels the same after spending a year in a triple dorm room and a two meal a day plan. I'm going to give her One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich as a graduation present.
