As the article admits, the sticker price for a year at Newbury was over $52,000. Yes, many students pay less, but the article also admits that colleges like Newbury have trouble staying financially solvent if they offer too many tuition reductions. I'd like to ask the Newbury's president if he would honestly advise a student who's not from a wealthy family to take out ~$200,000 loan and get a liberal arts degree at his (former) university. I believe in the importance of liberal arts education, but schools like that are simply asking for too much. Pretty much the only career paths where a student could get anything that even resembles a decent return on that investment would be as a doctor or lawyer (assuming they went to a top law school). For those students, though, I think suspect they'll be better served going to a larger state school, get a 4.0 GPA, and spend their spare time studying for their LSAT or MCAT.
