George Washington Craziness


So, does anyone else think it is a little nutso for any college tuition to be set above $50K?! Well guess what....George Washington University is raising their tuition 8% for their incoming freshman class to $50,630! (Pause for gasping...)


Yeah, that's what I said.


Apparently, GWU believes in the “spend big, to get big” mentality...but I sort of wonder — is it just money wasted? Although their extravagant Colonial Inauguration (their version of an orientation) seems to be a lot of fun, does it need to cost over $2,500 per minute?!?! Laser light show and all...come on. Is that really going to increase the value of your education?


If you want to continue reading about this bizarre phenomenon, continue reading the article from the Washington City Paper.
