ChatGPT列出了8條原因,包括成本,需求,缺乏監管等等,但說得最準確的還是"financial aid redistribution"
"Many private colleges use a "high tuition, high aid" model, where wealthier families pay full tuition, allowing schools to offer significant financial aid to lower-income students. This inflates the sticker price but lowers the actual cost for many".
這就是說一個full pay的學生除了付自己的學費,還幫別的窮孩子也付了學費,說白了大學就是在劫富濟貧。規則是這麽定的,自有大把人願意花這錢,不願意可以去上便宜的比如本州大,豐儉由人。
