Does no one speak here? Are the Ivy's dead? Let's face it: there are No colleges, save the state schools, that are cheap any more. Why not try for a school as old and honorable as an Ivy these days? Why pay 30K for some podunk college when, for the same price, one can matriculate at a school with the legacy of Harvard, UPenn, Yale, etc? I might suggest that the IVYS are the best bang for one's buck these days. Any comment?
