The leftists will hang around the CMU student body, tuition per year over $43,000, while complaining about capitalism.

Oh the irony of it all.

43k per year at CMU? That must be with a Giant Iggle Dvantage Card discount n’at. Not being a jagoff, but I think the tooishen is well over 50k.

My next to youngest is a HS senior this yeatr; he has sort of settle upon a branch campus (for first 2 years) of PSU +r if money is offered VTech). He wants to go into either mechanical of (shudders) petroleum engineering (because there are jobs being created in—horrors—Marcellus Shale fields). He has met with DISCOURAGEMENT (why don’t you want to ‘go away’ as soon as possible! His answer ‘so I don’t pile up a lot of debt!). His sister was an RA (she threatens to write a paperback) and between the free room and board; coupled with athletic and academic scholarships, she came out of a small Catholic college with almost NO debt—it came be done...but you have to actually work.

Lastly, even though son numero quatro has taken AP and Honors classes exclusively and has a 4.1xxxx GPA...he wasn’t academically qualified for the rarified CMU.
