GW is a rip-off!

Just got this not-so-shocking bit of information from Ben:

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Tuition at the most expensive four-year college is up
only 2.7 percent from last year. But a small increase on an already big number
is still gob-smacking. Landmark College, the school with the priciest tuition since at least 1998, is charging $37,738 for tuition this year, according to data from the Chronicle of Higher Education. That's up $11,238, or 42 percent, from 1998.
Of course, not everyone is aiming to go to Landmark, a school in Putney, Vt. that provides a liberal arts education to kids with learning disabilities and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

But the price tag isn't that much lower at the other nine schools that charge the
highest tuition. George Washington University in Washington, D.C. ranks No.
2 with a tuition of $36,400, up 7 percent from last year.


Boy am I glad I only paid $30K! And that was without scholarship, "luckily." Stephen Joel Trachtenberg should be ashamed of the tuition he charges at GW. It's not even for special services, like instruction focused on students with disabilities!!
