Not quite. Most schools provide financial aid. And the less you and your family have, the more aid you get. Especially at the Ivies. My son has accepted admission to Harvard for the fall term. I make a decent income. But my projected costs to send him to Harvard for four years are nlnness than one year's tuition, room and board there.
With no loans.
As well, Occidental and Columbia may cost $50+K TODAY, but not 20+ years ago.
The Kenyan anti-Christ DID graduate with student loan debt, as he has said. But no “normal” person who went to Occidental and Columbia in the 1980s and Harvard Law it the 1990s would have incurred anything close to $350,000 in student loans.
