The secret to private colleges is they have huge endowments and use them to offset the high tuition if you’re smart, talented, or athletic. If you’re not, you pay full rate. If the kid has to pay full rate, then state university is the only reasonable choice. Both my girls chose Pepperdine and I am solidly middle class. They are both A students and have almost full rides. If they didn’t, then they’d be at some State U somewhere.This situation is over a 20 year old kid whose mother wants him to go to a $75,000 a year private college and wants the dad to pay for it. She is suing him over some sort of "adult support" law. My buddy has been willing to split costs on public in-state tuition, but this isn't good enough for the ex.
Pepperdine, is there a better college campus?
It is spectacular. Makes me feel like an idiot for all those times I walked into Kane Hall, soaking wet from the rain.
