maddmaxx ★ Posted May 20, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2019 Robert Smith, good on ya. When a man of means takes it upon himself and his own pocket to do something right it's a great sight to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted May 20, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 20, 2019 That a change-of-life blessing for those 400 people. Like RS said, It is up to them to pay it forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted May 20, 2019 Share #3 Posted May 20, 2019 I still can't wrap my head around this: In the weeks before graduating from Morehouse on Sunday, 22-year-old finance major Aaron Mitchom drew up a spreadsheet to calculate how long it would take him to pay back his $200,000 in student loans — 25 years at half his monthly salary, per his calculations. According to the Morehouse, TOTAL tuition is ($14k/semester * 2 semesters ) * 4yrs = $112k. Add in $3,755/sem for housing ($30k/4yrs), $3k/sem for unlimited food ($24k/4 yrs), and there is another $36,000 to cover fees and books and or maybe one more year? $40k/yr if going for five years. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted May 20, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 20, 2019 Fake news to garner sympathy. I dont mnow about all the numbers, but 3K/sem for food? My son is in his last year of school, and keeps a detailed budget. He was just telling me over 4 years his food budget was under $1000/sem. Actually it worked out to $8.50 a day. And he eats nothing pre-made. Cooks all his own food from scratch. (All he wanted for Christmas was a puzza stone, tupperware containers and an instant pot.) I am not sure how accurate these are or if the numbers were rounded up to be 'safe' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Meal plans" have been around since my days, so I imagine their still useful to some folks? Especially those in dorms without kitchens. Of course, if you go for something with a kitchen to offset the food costs, the price goes up for the "Housing" part of the equation: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally comment without even reading the posts. But again, meal plans and living on campus are worst case scenarios. Me, my wife and all three kids did the university thing and none of us stayed on campus for all of our years at school. It was just too bloody expensive. In fact I dont know anyone that lived on campus for their full schooling. (And no, I still have not read the link) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
