Move to Georgia.

Tutition at state schools is free for residents who keep a B average. This is a big reason that Zell Miller is so popular down here. He set up the Hope Scholarship program.

Tuition, I should say. And I believe they give you a couple hundred bucks every semester to help buy textbooks.

Georgia actually uses their lotto money for something worthwhile.

BTW, why are you inviting a bunch of carpet baggers to Georgia? :)

And I've read that many of the "B" public students eventually lose their scholarships because they can't do college level work.

The Curtis School of Music is tuition free; however, you must audition and only the very best are chosen to attend. You must be an exemplary musician, heads above any other musician applying.

My brother went to Cooper Union. Same standards.

Ah yes, Hamburger U. Another corporately sponsored college at one time - that was actually a real college - was the old General Motors Institute (GMI). I think it may have been tuition free at one time but don't know for sure; seems to me that in former days you got both a free ride on tuition and a job on graduation with GM. In its new incarnation as "Kettering University" (I wish these places would slow up on changing their names!) it's definitely not tuition free and the GM relationship seems to have loosened. Though it does have some interesting coop programs.

Only said it was free, not easy.

Colleges should be unaffordable.Less go,less get "brainwashed"!

That's a very good point.

My dad teaches part-time at MCG, and from what administrators tell him, they see a lot of cases of people buying vacation homes in the mountains or down by the coast so they can establish in-state residency for their teenage children.

When you see what even in-state tuition is for most states, this is completely rational (if unfair to those of us who live here and pay state taxes).

[ladylib]

You're right. Kids' parents put themselves into hock so their little darlings can go off to college and become good little socialists. You really have to wonder if it's worth it.

It's bad enough when kids have to put up with some of the claptrap they do on the secondary level, but when a parent has to pay beyond the confiscated property taxes for some more "indoctrination," it's a little too much.

We have plenty of people from New York who go to school in Florida because our out-of-state tuition rate is cheaper than their in-state tuition.
