I want to believe. But the article has problems. First, it's not about colleges, it's about a case study on one specific cool hippy college that has no majors, no structure, a handful of semi-known graduates, and 13 students in the recent freshman class and (they think) probably 0 in the next. Article has problems. Look at this: > Depending on the state, needier students will usually pay less at a liberal arts college than they would at a state flagship. It sounds counterintuitive, but choosing a public school to save money is actually a privilege for the affluent. It then clarifies: > A survey of 405 private nonprofit four-year colleges by the National Association of College and University Business Officers found that though the average tuition rate was $38,301. Average tuition at private colleges is $38,301, and it's more expensive at a state college? I think not. What state colleges charge more than $38,301 tuition? Rhode Island has the highest at $39,029 for both tuition and fees. The $38,301 private average is tuition only. Or you can pay $12,363 on average for tuition in North Dakota. According to https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/state/ https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/state/. But if you go to https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/state/north-dakota/ https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/state/north-dakota/ you find that in state tuition is $6,608 for North Dakota residents and $8,766 for out of state. State colleges are dramatically less expensive in every single state than private colleges, especially for in-state students. The article's claim is so absurd that it demolishes the credibility of the entire piece.
