Adding extra players in D3 doesn't cost a coach much of anything. They only take so many for travel anyway. Many will be paying full ticket prices so the school is happy. Buyer beware. Study rosters and who plays.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHuh? The op didn’t say anything about cost. Asked about experiences with the programs. Go back and read the first question in the thread.
Are they worth 75k? If a school like Umass is worth 50k, then hell yeah. For the extra 25k, I will take an Econ degree from bowdoin over Umass, or any other state university in the north east.So will Goldman and just about every other big investment bank in the country. Econ liberal arts vs what....finance major at Umass. What did the Umass degree give you that the liberal arts degree in Econ didn’t give you? There is a reason it costs more. Look at placements and alumni network. A school like uri for example is a joke when it comes to I banks.
There is no comparison. Like staying at Motel 6 vs the Plaza hotel. For both, you pay for a room with a bed and a bathroom. That’s were the comparison ends. If you can afford it, you can afford it. If not fine. You ha e no idea of the value you get little man. Did you go to a new nescac school? Does your kid? Where does your opinion come from. Are you in admissions at a top law school or med school? A top mba program? Maybe you hire for a company that starts associates in the six figure range. Somehow, I see you more as a plumber. Stick to what you know best.....sheet!
Your view is myopic. If the original poster has to take loans they aren’t working in banking and probably not guiding their 17 year old in that direction
There are no guarantees in life and I wouldn’t ever encourage kid to take on 100k+ in debt for a LA degree. Especially when Grad school is looming for most kids.
Find a decent school like Gettysburg, Fairfield or Fordham that throws a to of merit money around. Coming out of undergrad with no debt is a game changer.
Also, looking down on someone for being a plumber is a nice touch. Scumbag
I hire for a Fortune 100 company and can tell you that Colby or Trinity doesn’t open anymore doors than Fordham. FU also has a way more expansive network in the tri state area.

Fairfield costs 66K a year. You want to compare a degree from Williams in econ to a FU business degree. You are probably hiring temps for a Fortune 100 company
So you take Colby and Trinity vs say Williams and Amherst for your comparison?
Why are you pushing kids to grad school? Biggest waste for 75% of grad school graduates. My favorite is when I see an accounting major go get a masters in accounting from Bridgeport. He could have went to a Big 4 for two years, made some nice cash and learned more about accounting then he did at Bridgeport while having to pay for it

That's huge, even if grad school isn't in the cards.

Quit writing your own narrative
merit money at a school like Fairfield doesn’t even require a FAFSA form.
I wouldn’t let a kid take on six figures of debt for an LAC either

In reading through this thread, it’s apparent that some lower Fairfield county types lose sight of the realities that Average families face.
I haven’t seen anyone argue that the NESCAC aren’t tremendous schools. They just aren’t worth going in debt over.
My oldest isn’t a college athlete. Good student. I had 55k a year for her put away which factored in inflation by the school. Told her that anything beyond that was on her as we have other kids and I gave them all the same deal. She got into 3 NESCAC and loved. Ultimately landed at Villanova without taking a loan
Fordham, Loyola, Nova all offer merit and I’ll put their alumni up there with anyone

Read again dbag! Parents can only afford 35k. A school like williams provides a grant for the diff. So no merit money, but doesn’t matter. Like I said. Avg cost after aid....25k. You are too stupid to understand what you don’t understand.

I appreciate all the info here, but why the anger??
Why the need to call someone a dbag?
Thanks to those who argue their points with grace and dignity. Much appreciated.

I guess I’m slow but after but the net cost after zero aid from Williams works out to be roughly 73k
I’m going to apply for the DBAG private scholarship that your Mom funds from her years on the corner

So in that hypothetical a good student gets 50% merit at a FU (or so many others schools - and would probably get more if an athlete at a D1) and the family can afford the other 50% = graduates with zero debt. NESCAC scenario the student is on the hook for the half the family can't afford = graduates $140K in debt. THAT'S the idiot that lets their kid do that.
