Good God, $70,000 A year? My tuition at Penn State was $333. a quarter when I started there (won’t say the year 😊) Room and board was approximately the same which was a reasonable amount for a middle class family. No wonder these kids today are going crazy. I remember at that time, the University of Pennsylvania was charging $5000 for a semester or quarter, don’t remember which, which was considered really high back then.
The rich and upper middle-class attending Columbia pay this much. Many others do not
I would bet $1000 that many of the "Hamas protestors" probably pay next to nothing (also I believe a fair amount of the protestors are not even Columbia students), because the Marxist school administrators are out seeking "diversity" and making everyone else pay for it.
