You think Caltech would get worse students if it didn’t charge tuition? I assure you it’s well out of side job territory now.

- WalterBright 3y agoWorse? No. But people who are more willing to drop out? Sure. True, it was possible (barely) at the time to work part time during the school year and full time during the summer to pay the bills. Borrowing money still (at least used to) means you had to pay it back. Universities today give out free rides to various groups of students for various reasons. I'd expect their dropout rate to be considerably higher. BTW, I was offered a free ride by ASU. I couldn't escape the feeling that because it was offered for free, it wasn't worth as much. It's just human nature at work. I am sadly amused by all the people that deny these effects.
