ONU costs nearly 50 grand a year???

That’s a lot of money to spend on a no-name school!

“That’s a lot of money to spend on a no-name school!”

My thinking exactly. And that would indicate she received no ‘grants,’ i.e., the scholarship/gifts from the school itself and its various endowed funds that are used as incentive for highly prized applicants to attend.

If a school doesn’t offer at least half the “sticker” cost in grants with admission, they really don’t want you. You can attend, of course, but they want you to have to borrow that money to pay their outrageous tuition and fees.

I really feel sorry for students and their families who get suckered in this way.

That was my reaction too. I don’t think Harvard even costs $50K/year.

My daughter graduated from ONU. (6 years/ PharmD with only $50K in debt, paid by signing bonus from her employer) The University wanted to become an Ivy League institution.
