Two years is the industry standard, and I think you can reasonably assume that all policies cover it after two years. (Before two years, all moneys paid are returned, but that's all.)

I agree, there probably is data monetization. That doesn't change the fact that the site doesn't appear to be asking for, or getting, any additional data beyond that provided by default by all web browsers, or that necessary to p

That is true, but the OPs argument is not based on the data and science. If it were, it would be a much better article!

For a lot of these schools, it helps to look at the increase in research dollars that they're bringing in. I expect some fraction of the new administrators are necessary to manage the research funding, which has a limited affect on tu

Yep. I'm the same way. The only thing to be careful about (in the US) is that banks can force convert a savings account to a checking account if you make more than 6 withdrawals a month. It hasn't ever happened to me, but they
