And that is the most expensive school in the country. What are the chances this girl got into Sarah Lawrence? There are so many better places academically to attend. Even the Ivies aren't nearly that pricey - around $50K all told for Princeton and Harvard - and you get the Ivy degree which is still worth a great deal (if you can put up with all the nonsense to get it).
More likely to be a middle tier private school which would run between $35 and $40K per annum. Still not pocket change, but considerably less.
I detect exaggeration, either by Ramsey or his correspondent.
I had a friend out west, who married a younger wife. They were both very strong in their religion, and had a very traditional family, with two small children. They both had finished their undergrads; he went on to law school and got his JD. She decided she wanted to go to Sarah Lawrence to get her Master's degree in Poetry. Some time after she returned from that boondoggle, she divorced her husband.
Not saying that SL caused the divorce, but she was a changed person when she returned...I don't mean that as a compliment.
