Sad!
BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF SMU FOOTBALL!!!

For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue.

When you compare our additional incremental cost to certain other Texas schools, absolutely.

Try selling a TCU or Baylor business degree to a Wall Street investment firm.

When is this bubble going to burst? Sad to think kids are taking out $200K+ loans and cant get jobs when they get out.

Actually, TCU's doing quite well on the investment side. They have their act together far better than Cox. I would love for Cox to steal a couple of their profs.

Amazing to think how high the cost of a degree is getting relative to it's decreasing utility. The good news is that these days a college degree is table stakes and everyone is in a similar boat.

it is important to remember that a VAST majority of students pay nowhere near rack rate

as GT points out SMU has a very generous financial aid package

http://www.dallasnews.com/news/educatio ... argain.ece

At $61,355 this year, SMU’s sticker price rivals Georgetown’s. But three-fourths of SMU freshmen receive grants or scholarships that are worth about $25,000 on average.

the funny thing is the class warfarians should love this because it means those of means are paying more for the same exact product and those of means are also subsidizing those of lesser means

but they will always ignore that fact and instead concentrate on the total dollar factor and OUTRAGE!!!!! :roll:

If that's so, I wonder then, is our competition really not University of Phoenix or ITT, and not TCU, UT.

It is not that out of line with other medium sized urban privates. That is the price of playing poker these days. Besides, only the dummies pay full price.
Back off Warchild seriously.
