Back in 1984, when I was accepted to Princeton, the total costs were around $17,000, which is one of the big reasons I didn’t go. Now, it’s up to $42,200 a year there. I wonder when the Ivies will break the $50k barrier. What’s nice is that the Ivies do have large endowments and it appears Princeton is providing grants instead of loans these days to attract lower-income students.
